After the flight that is ? Well after my attempt if I succeed I continue on flying doing what I love and hopefully demonstrated to kids and people that have dreams that they can achieve what they work hard for, and if I don't make the attempt I will continue trying until I do even if I'm not the youngest.

Yes I have heard lots about that area of the world and so I take your advice as guidance and I thank you, I will be obviously looking at tweaking my route as my team considers the route in our flight plans in more detail, but so far this planned route has been based on the aircraft performance and the idea of the most efficient route according to that. Obviously with departure date not being for another few months, there is not best option at the moment and all the advice we can get we will strongly consider as we don't know all the answers. Again thank you and will surely be looking Into a better stretch to fly as that has always been the one section I've feared. But a challenge is a challenge and I'm determined to succeed in my life goal. Cheers Pieter

I will be the pilot for this attempt and obviously need all the support i can get from fellow supporters and aviation enthusiasts to achieve this huge task. I have an official Facebook page which can be found with the link below, and would appreciate all the support i can get. I am currently finishing off my official website which will entail the full details of my flight,charities, causes and history involved. So give my Facebook page a look as it shares some details of the processes I'm going through and would love to hear from everyone.

Hey everyone now I know a jabiru has its faults haha but yet everyone has one, my father and I have found a jab for a good price but we are just wondering if its worth it? It's a jab 1600. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yeah thanks for that, it sounds like a really good idea ill look into it thanks :)

Well i have just passed my flight test and i am 15 and my father is doing his licence aswell, so we are looking at different aircraft and like you said it would support my level and his level of flying so would be a very good aircraft by the sounds of it and yes a very reliable motor haha ;)

it sounds like a aircraft im very interested in haha

so i guess this is a good opportunity for me to ask you what sort of aircraft you would reccomend? but yeah they have there pros and cons.

yeah, ive done a bit of research on them and they surely seem like a great aircraft, as you said the vis and space is incredible and i would love to have a fly in one to know if its the right plane for me. i cant seem to find a fault in them yet so they seem amazing. thanks for the help!
