The video is great and so is the sport 2S ... I'll do some research - thanks

I have been looking at all sorts of options... Microlights, kit planes like the wasp .... Unfortunately all my friends are into V8's, motorbikes, cricket, sailing or golf... And think i'm mad to start flying... I'll see how I go with lessons and assess the passion at that point... I'm still a little apprehensive about flying .... I sold my ZZR1100 as I didn't want to kill myself and I wasn't using it much... Mark

Thanks Alan, I'll keep that option open... Could always sell the old 1970s cruise craft with the 1971 1350 merc (perfect condition by the way).... Mark

Good advice, thanks... I'll check to see if I can do the raa with casa exams and syllabus. I guess I could book in more training - assuming ill get a tax return....

I'm planning one every two weeks.... Even then will probably take a couple of years to get PPL...

That's good feedback thanks... I felt very welcome... I'm no millionaire either... So that is one consideration.... I might try and book my first 10 lessons today!!!! One every two weeks (that's all the budget will allow...)

Hi, thanks.... I guess I should know a good airstrip if I see one... Could also knock up a pretty good hangar...

Tha Thanks dazza. My next lesson (thiscweekend) is in the front seat of a microlight.... Hang on...

I think these planes are fantastic --- the option to land on the water just in front of my place (huon river which is about 2km wide and dead flat) is a great thought. You can get a folding wing version, so you can launch it off the boat ramp....

Hi, couldn't work out how to reply via iPhone app yesterday.... I am considering Dave's flying school ... Went out for a drive on the weekend to the oaks and Dave was kind enough to make us a coffee... As with my seniors cricket, it's a lot about the social side for me.

I'm considering Dave's flying school. I have done two trial flights - one with Basair and one with Sydney Microlight centre (airborne Microlight)

All, thanks for welcome posts. Farri, Aecom is doing some work on our project (facade design check) but I don't know the guys up in cairns --- very big firm!

Hi All, Almost got into the defence force academy when I was 16...(final 12).... Started Civil Engineering instead (at 16) Adelade Uni... When asked to try again that year, I said too late - you had your chance... Now, I'm on a journey to get my PPL. I'm interested in owning and flying a SeaMax in several years time (When I move to Tasmania) Regards Mark
