Well I am one in Perth and enjoying the hot wether (NOT) not that I'm complaining, it's just that its a bit on the warmer side at the moment, I'm looking to start the convention training (UK licence to AU one that is) I guess I will start this in March when the weather starts to play ball, I have emailed the importer of the Evolution trikes about the Revo he is based over in Melbourne, we will be over there in March 2013 any way so hopefully I can get to have a look around one and fly one, I don't know if I could justify the spend without flying one Does anyone out there know anyone that owns one I could talk to or even meet? I hope your all well and enjoying the holidays Mark

Hi there Deskpilot My wife is from Perth and the company I work for (GE) have offered me a job in Perth so that's why we are on our way there in just under two weeks our air freight went yesterday, I would have liked to stay in the UK a bit longer and done more flying here I was dreaming of flying off to France next year but there we go Mark

Thanks for the Info poteroo, i this week applied to RA-Aus for my membership it was interesting I emailed the form off and within 12 hours they had taken the cash out of my account, I have been looking at were I can complete my conversion to the Australian licence (York or Bunbury) but with all that said without being able to buy an aircraft and have it transferred into my name it looks like I shouldn’t be in any rush, I’m currently looking at importing a P&M GT450 or may be push the boat out and go for a Revo but that one will depend on what the minister for finance (Wife) says about the price

Are there any members that fly Flexwing in the Roleystone area (south of the river) that I could meet up with once in in country as it would be nice to have someone I can go and talk to as I start to figure out just what flying in Perth is going to be i.e were I can base myself and what I am going to fly currently looking at a Revo or a P&M GT450

Hi there all I will soon be heading out to Perth with my Australian wife and two kids, I currently hold a UK licence rated for flying Flexwing. I am expecting to work my work to having my licence converted to and AU one, My question is about summer fly, I know from my experience when flying in France that when it’s a hot day your best to fly first thing in the morning and then as late as you can in the day as thermals will create a load of turbulent air, is this the case in Perth? Thanks in advance for any help you can give Mark

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, my wife is from Perth, Rolyestone we have two kids (Finlay 5, Patrick 2) we have spent a lot of time in Perth over the years, I have been offered a job with GE in the Perth office they want me to fly out on the 15th-Oct, I am trying to delay this a little to give us more time to get things here in the UK sorted, but it looks like we will be with you all soon

Thanks buddy I loved the flying in La Baule, it makes a big difrance being able to put in 3 and 4 hour days solo flying once you get to that point, it's nice to have it complete so I can focus on the move to Perth.

Gentreau, you get around a bit just like a dirty old tramp lol

Hi there all I just yesterday (12-Sept) passed my GST in France I was there finishing off my training (to the UK NPPL syllabus) I will very shortly be moving to Perth so will need to retest on arrival I guess event tho I have not yet looked into it, you have a very nice site here. Mark
