welcome back Haydn:plane:

Hi Alan & Kevin thanks for the info will get back to you on that after out trip on weekend the pics are great cheers gareth

hi alan any of the above yours? craig (viper)and i have lookd at jab,s but the morgan sierra is the best value for money in this class good lines ,speed etc after the trial flights we will discuss the mods we require and all being well we will start down the road of building cheers gareth

funny :roflmao:i must remember that when viper(new member)and i go to look at the morgan on sat at taree

nah ,i dont really panic just a bit stressed about getting it all to work cfi leaves me do do it and has only had to grab twice so will get better with more flying cheers Gareth

panic?

some people take more than 15 hrs because the schools are a business ie more hrs more income and us older blokes (and gals) are in a different comfort zone to normal 22 lessons and close too first solo! cheers gareth

Thanks frank i am getting over it not so down after talking with CFI he said much the same as you thanks for the reassurance cheers gareth

Hi Bigfella i had my 23 rd lesson today passed my air legislation and radio but today i regressed back about 6 lessons !!there is a lot to learn and frustration gets at your head but one must look at it and learn from mistakes today i did flapless landings 4 were consistant and good the last 2 were dreadful i can see how some people give it in my head was not in a good place next week 2 lessons i hope it is better

it lost me on geostopic

welcome General Ian:welcome:

Hi All semi retired boilermaker ,ran my own workshop for 25 years ,when GFC hit 2 years ago i thought ,why am i doing this so closed up shop and sold all my equip,then sold the acreage and now live in the burbs new house new life! i got very bored so i now have 4 or 5 clients and only work 2 or 3 days fly to perth adelaide,melboune sydney supervising the jobs which gives me plenty of time for learning how to fly,with a friend who is also learning to fly (he is 10 lessons in front) we are looking at jabiru,morgan, as a first plane to buy cheers Gareth

Sorry Matt an urgent job in City came up(safety issue) had to fab up and will be installing am 28th maybe next time cheers Gareth

*/Hi JimG i agree the comments about apprentices if we as employers dont let them do the job they will never know how on thier own that being said if a an instructor isnt good with student pilots it would be hard to get the message across ie to stressful (especially older students )and could possibly put them off, i have a new instructor and i learn much quicker than with the last one (not regressing at all) good luck with your instructing as you say its not about the money(instructing seems to be poorly paid)you have to have a passion . Bye the way if i lived closer i would get some instruction cheers Gareth

Hi av8vfr ive got 22 hrs up asic in post etc Cheers Gareth

:welcome:Bigfella i was hooked after my first lesson (can,t believe it was 2 months ago) now in my last 2 circuits before solo then onwards and upwards safe flying Gareth
