What study books and materials did you use for reference? That is... To successfully pass your exams?

 

I have read a microlight theory book i found online from the usa, and the microlight handbook 7th edition by Brian Cosgrove. But i feel like they are not sufficient. I still have inadequate knowledge about preflight, pretakeoff, telephony and the list goes on.

 

Really appreciate your help here, thanks, Stewart.

 

 

'tis working now after a little email was sent...

 

 

I want to sign up as i have just become a member, but the hgfa website will not for me.

Can anyone confirm it works... I will have to ring them on monday.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Which is harder... Loosing the gut or convincing the missus? I know your troubles my friend. Welcome.

 

 

I'll be very careful about purchasing a used microlight after reading this. My cfi said that he will dismantle and personally inspect his students potential purchases. What a guy!

 

 

I stumbled across this full coroners report. I am sorry if any of you knew this guy, but I thought the report would help those looking for information relating to purchasing a used microlight, and the mistakes or oversights that can happen along the way. hopefully it can prevent a future such situation.

 

There is a lot to learn from this report. As a newbie, certainly opening my eyes....

Has anyone got a copy i can download for fs9/2004. Thanks.

 

 

Here is a service bulletin if anyone wants a tech read about the fix that has been implemented.

Seriously it can't be that hard... a 7 yr old can do it!

Seriously it can't be that hard - i can do it. I have been flying almost 2years now and own 4 helicopters. 2x trex450 clones, and 2x trex 600 electrics. I learnt everything i know from helifreak.com forums. Awesome site for info. Took me 2 months of hard work to learn to fly forwards, circuits 8's etc.

Now i am learning to fly microlights......

 

 

Hi Crayonbox welcome to the site, you will find several 'Trike Pilots' on this forum.I have re-activated a classified ad for my Son's Trike which he is currently selling. A bit far from Qld but worth a look as he also has a very good trailer.

His forum name is HERM.

Hi Alan, Yes seen that trike online, but too far to come and get it.

I should have my pilots cert by spring - all going well, so have got some time to look around I guess. (More time to save too).

 

 

I live in Hervey Bay Queensland, and recently began microlight flight lessons. At this stage I know it all, and am quickly learning that maybe I don't really.

 

I have been wanting to fly all my life. Now in my mid 40's, better late than never. I attempted hang gliding when I was 18, but that was a bad day - yes 1st day a little prang. So get used to seeing me around here and there.

 

Lesson 1 & 2. I have had 2 hours of lessons now, (18 to go). I am on the lookout for an affordable Airbourne 582 trike with streak 2 wing (like everyone lol).

 

I look forward to getting to know many of you here.

 

Cheers!

 

I am learning to fly a Microlight. Training began on the 1st July 2012.

 

This thread has become my personal "follow my training" thread for those that may be interested. Do you remember doing your training?
