Hi Guys & Gals,
Thought I'd better say G'day as you'll see me post a few things in the months ahead.
I fly a syndicated 1967 Piper Cherokee 235B which operates from Mittagong NSW, a lovely classic old aeroplane, a great load lifter and a good touring aeroplane. Best trip so far:- Lake Eyre & the Channel Country last year. Lake Eyre was great but the Channel Country was sensational. Have strong ties to Toowoomba Qld, and enjoy flying around there as well.
Recently I bought a wreck, a very early model Jabiru LSA which needs a lot of work but I'm confident it will fly again. It had an engine failure on take off after 358 hrs on a new 2200 engine; the bolts holding the rear cyclinders snapped. I'm looking forward to learning how to use my feet again when it flies (and to not burning 53L Hr).
Cheers
Chris

Thanks
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Re question on serial No's
The 235B is first plane manufactured in the 1967 model year run, serial No 28-11000, brought out to Aus brand new and entered onto the Aus GA register Jan 1968. It's an early version of the Dakota; quite a few little differences between them but the major changes were a new wing platform and longer fusealge for the Dakota.
The Jab is a very early model ST, serial No 0001, the first Jab to be VH registered. Later changed to RAA reg as a Jab LSA 55/2j
Cheers
Chris
