  1. Welcome Sonja, Keep enjoying the circuits at Moorabbin
  2. I am not talking about design feature endorsements, or any ratings. I am simply sating you can learn on a 150 and your licence allows you to fly a 172, the licence allows you to fly aircraft up to a certain weight. But excludes anything that requires a rating/endorsement. E.g retract, csu etc etc.
  3. Don't worry about the aircraft, start small and then go bigger. Get the licence then learn the bigger aircraft.
  4. So from your other posts are you still going to soar? If so send a pm to stevenpam as he flys the foxbat at Soar Moorabbin.
  5. No advantage to that, it's not like other forums that unlock certain features when you reach a post level.
  6. Why? Its a ranking system, some people are so nicky picky. Its just a novelty, doesen't change the site.
  7. This site is not just for recreational pilots, there are a number of airline, bizjet and raaf pilots on this forum. Just because its call recreational flying doesent mean its just rec flyers. Good way to show some of our defence force ranks within an Aussie forum.
  8. Hence the reason I said do a check ride, legally you can but as you stated it would be suicidal, hence the reason for the famil lesson, most schools would not let you hire an aircraft without being checked out on the type first, may even be an exam. Also Warriors are low wing and you have to fly them to the ground unlike a 172 that will float down. I heard of someone that jumped out of a 172 into a warrior, pulled the power to idle and it dropped out of the sky and crashed on the flare.
  9. Becuase there light and Cessna's and Pipers are heavier! Being light they can zoom along.
  10. Yes. In reality your licence allows you to fly Cessna's and Pipers, but best to do a check ride on one as they are faster and will handle differently.
  11. Just a cheaper option for ab intio, as you go further into your training you move up to higher performance aircraft. If you move onto another school with Cessna's and Pipers your just burning money for the same licence, you can easily fly Cessna's after a quick lesson on one of the aircraft after your rpl/ppl. As long as we are talking RPL/PPL and not RPC/PPL
  12. Nice, I was going to buy one of these Stratus™ 2S ADS-B Receiver for iPad
  13. I know Anthony Hand (Owner) the place at Moruya is just a shed, you can pickup your order from there though just select self pickup when you order online and they will send you the details. There at 38 Shelley Road.
  14. I buy in bulk and postage is not a problem, Anthony gives me a discount constantly so postage is near nothing.
  15. That is a very ancient phone and won't have a hotspot. You need a smartphone to do the hotspot pairing. How to Share Your Smartphone’s Internet Connection: Hotspots and Tethering Explained
  16. Nev the facthunter is going to be the Marshal
  17. Those cars are shocking, a truck would not even see them.
  18. The sharing of maps is awesome, I can download every single map at home and then airdrop it to a mates ipad in seconds, saves him having to download all the maps from the interwebs.
