Roko 912 ul

so far costs for us including insurance,hangar,maintenance Ra rego, $8000, not including Ra cert fees and fuel(cheapest part of flying is fuel)divided between 2 , cheaper than my mates 30ft cruiser

accident happened to a young lady on her solo flight , no injuries but embarrassing for her ,someone said turbulence just before touchdown, parts only methinks

works on my Samsung 10.1 , my samsung 4 phone and my old pc at home (its very old) and i like the new system really works well thanks Ian and hope to see it back on soon

Cheers gareth

Hi Jeff

all good ,i see the joke in most things and can give as well as take it (jokes i mean ) LOL

cheers gareth

Not funny!! some Logonians are normal people ( ie fly planes) and my house has increased in value in the last 4 years! so guys leave us alone there are worse places to pick on , ,lets see , Salsbury SA, Inala QLD, St Marys NSW, and melbourne, well that place i dont know ,Gosnells WA the list goes on BTW

Thanks David

as per post above Sierra was sold on , the guy has more time to fix the damaged wings (my biggest boo boo in an aircraft) Craig and i decided we dont have the time or inclination to fix it so with insurance money we purchased the Roko also my advancing years means that time is not on my side LOL but flying the Roko has made the flying enjoyable , and learning in a new aircraft is exiting , so happy days again , and as you say our kids are getting much taller than us ,2 sons previous marraige 6.1 and 6.2 and dan is 6.4 and size 14 boots!! wtf happened there mum is 5.6 and i am barely 5.8 so go figure ,will try to get the go pro closer to the front next time or put 1 in front . Happy days and have a great 2015

cheers gareth

Hi Mark

pathfinder is where i did the majority of my training, great instructors (DOUG) and and got me through , picked up my weaknesses and they are very easy to deal with,and flying out of Archerfield certainly makes you aware , also tower is very helpful when you do male a mistake

Andy, your damned if you dont and damned if you do , always a problem with some members in any organisation, i was soccer club president for seven years and generally the people on thye committee didwell financially and for the clubs benifit BUT there were always one or two who did not lilke all our decisions , Andy you and the team are working well ,and as mostly volunteers you are all doing a great job under trying circumstances , personally i give you all a big thumbs up

thank you for getting on with job and making it better for ALL members

i have flown this plane many times

I have put it on youtube look for cobra 130 test flight

cheers gareth
