Hi BoxFat, I haven't joined a club yet, but Bindoon is not too fat away from where I live in the Swan Valley. I'd love to come up and have a look, so maybe PM me your mobile # and we can catch up soon. I'm going to the. Busselton Aerofest tomorrow, so can't come up your way this weekend. Cheers

Sounds like a plan! I live in the Swan Valley, so right in my neck of the woods. I'm also thinking of coming up sometime and getting checked out to fly a Jabiru. Been flying the Foxbat out of White Gum recently, so looking to try new machines... My brother-in-law has a Xenon Gyro and went with the Bindoon club last year on the trek up north (ningaloo). Enjoyed going up with him recently too...

By the way, where do you hire the Champ from? Would love to have a go in a tail dragger sometime...I'm still a baby riding a tricycle! :-)

Hey Riley, I rang the aeroclub when I was still looking at flying down and they said we don't need an ASIC to just visit for the day. They can organise a "visitors pass", so don't let that stop ya, go for it!

Are you flying or driving? I'm driving, unfortunately...

Me too, just got back flying after 10 years, so looking forward to my first Aerofest!

Anyone else going to the Busselton Aerofest on Sunday?

Those FK9's look like a sweet machine! Would love to fly one of their new Mustang replicas - wonder if we'll ever see one of those in Aus...

Thanks magishme, enjoyed flying out of Archerfield back in the early nineties...Hempels Aviation was still in operation in those days...good to hear you've joined the RA fraternity....cheers

Yes, very nice aeroplane, not the world's fastest, but very predictable. It's the only RA aircraft I have flown in the left seat (flown Tecnam and Xenon Gyro in the right seat) so not much to compare at this stage. I'm particularly interested in the idea of folding wings, so would like to try a Gazelle and maybe a Eurofox too...if I can find any to fly in WA.

Hi, Just completed my GA to RA conversion at White Gum Farm, in a near new Foxbat. Great fun and I'm enjoying the new experiences of recreational flying - opening up all sorts of new possibilities, including one day owning my own plane... Cheers...Phil
