Did the human factors course at Cessnock held by Keith Mcgeachie a few weeks ago.
Went to Narromine had a blast and got soaked tying the aircraft down in a storm caught a cold so no flying this weekend. I guess it works. Hope to be topside for Gloucester next weekend.

member aircraft rebuild fund
Hi
It would be interesting to see the combined total of donations displayed on this page not the donees just the total.

I would be really carefull and negotiate around that. In the present situation there is bound to be some one who has a new or near new model that wishes to sell it. I dont mind looking at aircraft buying it and then taking it away but to put 20 g down and wait six months would lead to many sleepless nights.Good luck .

X air
Hi Seb X airs are a great starter aircraft I have a share in one and did my first 30 or so solo hours in it.The suspension is excellent a slow plane but can land almost anywhere but at what cost. If a new kit is worth about 35 k all up then I recon there are better options around.I have seen second hand models for around 20 k with the doom and gloom around at present I think its a buyers market.I have seen several 4 stroke 80 hp aircraft for sale around the 25 to 30 mark I would be taking a look at these for my money. Regards Dave

Hi Jl
It looks like a choice between the 96 c or the 196 i am leaning towards the 96c but need to do more homework yet(who would have thought buying gizmos would be so hard) Is the Australian data base comphrensive? I think I will have to get a look at one before I part with my hard earned money.

Hi Juilette lima
$700 is not the controlling factor in fact I recon I might have to stick my hand in my pocket for up to $1100 It does not matter.What is important is to hear from people like yourself who have bought and are happy (or not ) and are willing to pass the information along.

Hi JL
Thanks for that I probably dont need one at all whilst flying the Xair (still need to learn to navigate properly) But do expect to get something faster one day so I may as well have it and get used to it (plus have it for backup)

I have about $700 to spend on a GPS what would you reccomend? It needs to be light portable state of the art and user friendly please advise.

Hi Moy
If you can go four stroke preferrably Rotax.You might get a Gazelle within your budget much better than an Xair ( I have a share in one Xair that is and its for sale $ 4000 based at Cessnock)
Good Luck Dave
