Hi all,
I'm a bloke from north western Vic.
I currently hold a CPL but i'm flying just for pleasure at this stage.
An instructor rating is on the cards in the next few years as I would like to try on some weekend / casual work.
That's a thought for another day though.
The usual mount I hire is starting to cost far to much, so i'm looking at getting an RAA ticket.
I'm hoping that'll allow me to scratch the flying itch as needed for cheaper.
One things that's piked my interest to post today is seeing an advertisement on an aircraft sales website.
Its' of a small high wing machine that cruises at about 80kts for 22k, this seems relatively affordable to me. I'm aware of ongoing costs and have heard you'd expect to spend the initial purchase price within the following 2 years as a guide, even that sounds bearable.
I'm really interested in somthing with folding wings. I'd love to be able to cart it home and stow it in the shed. This should definitely put a dent in cost of ownership.
Anyway, once again that's a thought for another day...
In the interim, I'm on my way to an RAA ticket! wish me luck.
Craig.
