To whom it may concern, it is very important to submit a response to Casr part 103. According to all reports RAA are not happy with our interest so far and are encouraging all members to take five minutes of their time and go on line and mark (acceptable without any changes) to all the questions. That's if you agree of course. Please help, as our future depends on it. Thanks Fellows, Mike

Hi Mike thanks for the encouragment and your generous offer , It was with my mate James that you went to Echuca and by all accounts you had an interesting time I have also flown with Martyn in the Jab to Temora and Bendigo so Ive had a bit of experience in 3483 Hoping to catch up with you in the not too distant future Happy Flying Mike

Hello Mike I too fly from WVA in Pauls Jab I just Passed my final test for xc and am retired and ready to go Contact me if you need a flying buddy MIKE (a good name that)

Hi Howard, Pity I did not know you were in Tumbi Umbi last year I could have showed you our AT3 which we are building in Bon Mace Cl. Tumbi just off Tumbi Creek rd At the moment I fly a Jab 160 out of Warnevale, We could have given you a lake tour. And speaking of Shrewsbury my brother lives next to Copthorne Hospital. I lived in London for 21 years Hope to speak to you again in the near future Mike:hug:

Hi Rocco, That is a very nice looking aircraft, May I ask how much did it set you back and how long did it take you to build and finally where can I get one. Happy flying Mike

Hi Folks I too went to Bendigo for the weekend as a matter of fact 14 of us from the hunter valley made the trip south, we all had a wonderful time thanks to the hospitality of the Bendigo Aero Club who put on a beautiful bbq for us on friday night with lots of good food to follow on saturday. I managed to get a tif in a storch. thanks to Neil.Other models present were The Pioneers 200. 300. CT. Tecnams.Jabirus. kr2 and many more. all in all it was a very interesting weekend Mike

Hi Fozzy, Storch are at this very moment fitting floats to one of their planes. as soon as it gets the go ahead it will be flying all over the country as a demo I will keep you posted. Also the Rampos has just landed, it would be ideal for mud or rough water, look it up on the web or contact Rod Tyson at Redcliff .freeflying regards Mike

Hi Philip .as a fairly recent member of this forum I wish you all the very best in your flying career I have just passed the test for my licence last week, for me it has taken 9 months about 30 hrs of actual flying, the book work for me was the most difficult as i am much older than you and it takes longer to digest it all,However you have to stick with it, Try and do it in a short space of time rather than prolonged intervals as you tend to forget what you learned last time and you spend too much time revising and time is money Happy flying and above all enjoy Mike

Hi Don I too drove to Wagga from the Central Coast to find the most wonderful ultralights on the planet My favourites were the Texan, Storch with folding wings. Esqual and not forgetting the Tecnam. It would have been a fantastic weekend except for the horrible wind factor Hope to be back again next year. Mike

Hi Alan, Half your luck flying a Tecnam, its my dream some day some way to own one.Anybody interested in sharing a tecnam in the hunter region call or reply on here. my phone no is 0408203362. cheers Mike

I'm glad you found us at the forum James I'm ready to fly the flea when it's ready You like your food too much to be able to fit in it. Have fun Mike

Hi Trevor, Putting a plane on line in my opinion is not the best move you could make ,if its abusy school you may not get a fly when you want it ,also the maintenance costs are very high and the aircraft gets a good hammering. the other alternative is Flyshare, you and a few of your friends should get together and ring greg on 02 9918 8375. He will put a plan together for you. You will be surprised how little it might cost you Happy flying Mike
