Try Flyleds. Aussie made.

Thanks everyone.

not interested in IFR, only NVFR.

I’ll make some inquiries with the local AP

Thanks KRvator

I would like to make my aircraft nvfr but do not have a nav source, and am looking for the cheapest solution.

Val avionics make a nav only radio, a nav2000, which I can interface with my old Efis for the display. This unit is supposed to be made to meet tso standards, however is not tso’d. I don’t really want to fork out for an Garmin SL30, or a 430, and I do not have room for another instrument for the indicator.

Does anybody know if VH experimental can use a non tso nav receiver for nvfr? The legislation is confusing me.

Thanks.

Hi DC16,

I am a Frankston local, and fly at Tyabb.

I am building an RV7 at the moment, so if you want to have a look, drop me a PM with your details, and I will be in contact.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Carl,

Welcome to the forum.

I fly out of Tyabb also, and have seen you several times taking your gyro out for a spin. Next time I see you, I will stop by and say G'day.

Cheers,

Joe

Have you ever had a flying dream? I had them as a kid, but had forgotten until a couple of weeks ago. I'll get onto that in a minute.

I was always fascinated by aeroplanes. As a kid, it was plastic models, then pre teens, and early teens, it was radio controlled aircraft. Joined the Air Force cadets when I was old enough. A family friend would take me and my dad flying during my early teens. During year 10 at school, I completed my private theory at night, then left school to work and earn money to get my license. A few years later and I had a commercial with an instructor rating. "Living the dream" you could say. Then there was the recession we had to have, and I could not survive in a small country flying school, so I moved home and got a job in manufacturing. The usual story, got married, bought a house, had a couple of kids and couldn't afford to fly any more. Fast forward about 15 years. I get a new job and I meet a guy that flies RAA. So much has changed over the years with ultralights. I get a promotion, and although I still have a couple of kids at school, I now have some money to do a little flying again. So I get my pilot certificate, complete my GA AFR, and I am flying again. The more I fly again, I realise that the yearning to fly never really left me, as it is as strong as ever. I only really realised this recently when my mate emailed me a link to a Harrison Ford YouTube clip, and he asks the question at the start, "have you ever had a flying dream?", then all the memories of the dreams as a kid come flooding back into my consciousness. Now I can't get enough of aeroplanes again.

So why do I fly? Because I yearn to fly!

Joe.

Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb do both RAA and PPL. Good instructors and a pretty good social group. The airfield also has the benefit of having a large range of privately owned aircraft that get flown regularly which can be good viewing on a nice day.

I'm afraid of heights. 30 feet up on a building can be terrifying, but no problems when I fly, and have been flying for nearl 30 years.

RV 12 fits in a trailer. I have a mate who keeps his stored in a trailer at his local airfield.

I was a fresh grade 3 instructor, washing aeroplanes for a living at the local flying school. Took a young work experience kid from a local school up for a TIF.

Let's face it, any day somebody pays you for your flying fixes is a good day!

Hi djpacro,

Thanks for the offer, but am just happy honing my skills for now. Limited funds stop me from flying as often as I would like, so would limit practice time if I wanted to try any competition aeros.

Cheers,

Joe

I finally finished my aerobatic endorsement yesterday, after starting and stopping over the years. This recent attempt was to improve my skills after a long break from flying.

Completed in a 150a, now time to get some practice in to make the manoeuvres smoother and more accurate. Still lots of learning to do, but it is great to be finally signed off.

Congratulations!!!!

Happily volunteering for the show. Should be a great day with good weather.

Congratulations!

Hi,

Welcome to the site. I fly out of Tyabb.
