    Flew from Penfield to Kyneton for their Gourmet Hot Dog Fly-In with my 6 year old grandson. Very enjoyable!

    Certainly plan to!

    Hi David, It wasn't me! Good luck with getting back into flying. Let us all know how you go. Cheers, Neil

    Hi David, Sorry to hear of your medical dramas, but glad to hear you are well on the road to recovery. Just to whet your appetite for flying a Savannah S over lovely country here are some pics from a few days ago along next to the 12 Apostles.... You must come down to Victoria some day! Cheers, Neil

    Thanks for your hard work, Ian, I know you will continue to build a first-class site regardless of any issues you find! Cheers, Neil

    Yup - I remember seeing one at Heathrow many years ago when I worked there. Boy did it look weird!

    Welcome, Canman! This is probably a very good venue to find answers to your questions. Fire away! Cheers, Neil

    Hi SnowyDave, Have you spoken to Pete Gillespie, the new Savannah agent? He may well know. He is based at Bendigo. His number is in the Sport Pilot mag, or I can PM it to you. Cheers, Neil

    Hi Tom, You are welcome to drop in on Penfield on Sunday Oct 14th at 10am for our pancake breakfast. I have tried unsuccessfully to get to Shepparton for your pancake breakfast for the past 3 months due to bad weather (as Lucy knows!). Check the ERSA - westerly circuits at Penfield (as Riddell's airfield 2 nm to the northeast), and under the 2500ft Tullamarine CTA step. Cheers, Neil

    Hi Michael, That is the route I would recommend anyway - it is arguably cheaper, and you can always get an RPL at a later date if you decide you want one, and your RAAus hours and endorsements should be taken into account. You will have plenty of time to research the differences, but the main thing is to just get flying!! All the best, Neil

    Hi Michael, Welcome to the site. Do you mean RAAus Recreational Pilot Certificate, or Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL)? There's a big difference. Anyway - I hope you manage to get whichever, and your own plane! Cheers, Neil

    Very sad news. Deb was a great contributor on this site, and clearly loved flying, and her Gazelle. Not alone into the sunset but into the company of friends who have gone before.....

    Hi Peter, Excellent account of your trip, and lovely photos. And yes, the weather around Mount Macedon is frequently the reason some of our planned flyaways from Penfield have to be postponed/cancelled! Cheers, Neil

    Hi Ryan, I believe they have some at Bendigo, and Lethbridge. Cheers, Neil

    Weather screwed up my plan to fly on WUFI day last year - here's hoping it's better this year!! Neil

    Got my hard copy last week. No election material in it.

    Hi Peter, Welcome to the forums, and back to flying! Tell us a bit more about yourself - where do you fly from? What aircraft are you flying? etc etc Cheers, Neil

    Hi Kaz, Very interesting! My mum & grandparents were in London at the time, and my dad was somewhere along the south coast.... Thanks for posting. Cheers, Neil

    Hi Barry, Excellent! I know a few trike pilots in Victoria. If over this way you should check out Yarrawonga - Peter Maclean runs a trike school there. Very friendly, helpful guy. Cheers, Neil
  23. Neil_S
    Welcome, Barry! Tell us a bit about yourself! What do you fly? Or are you training? etc etc Cheers, Neil

    Hi PD, I am on the right side of 60 (ie 63) and I would endorse Yenn's comments. I have had a Savvanah for the past 3 years, and have done around 220 hours in it so far. It has the long range tanks, holding 140 litres, which gives me at least 7 hours endurance plus 45 minutes reserve. I would thoroughly recommend it if you like low and slow (I flight plan 90kts TAS), plus the ability to land and take off from shortish grass strips. HTH, Neil

    So sorry to hear about this! There are some real scumbags about. I hope the police manage to catch the little $hits and you get some of the stuff back. All the best, Neil
