Hi Carl, what is the IAS cruise for the Foxbat? I am currently flying a Jab160c with a cruise speed of 95-110knts....The Foxbat looks excellent with loads of room and awsome visability and a great price. But I have heard that it only has a cruise speed of 80-85knts?

 

 

Can anyone tell me the variance in running costs of a Jab 230 V's Jab160?

 

Is the 230 worth the extra purchase cost? What are the benefits over the 160?

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

G'day Mark, I fly at Bindoon most if not every week-end and around this time of the year until mid-march its very uncomfortable with heat turbulance after 10am. After late March until October the weather is magnificent!!Let me know when you arrive in Perth and ill flick you details of the Club.

Cheers!

Hello, Everyone! I have just become a member. I am recently qualified and currently building hrs in a Jabiru 160c. I am a member of the Super Light Aircraft Club of WA up at Bindoon Abondoned airstrip (YBOO). I am looking to touch base with anyone flying locally in Perth and looking for comments on what might be a good first secondhand aircraft to purchase, good points and bad? I am interested in the Sky-fox, Piper sport and Jab's.

 

Cheers,
