Well on the weekend i took my first flight in the Jabiru J160-C Out at lilydale (was damm hot!), great school and great bunch on instructors very friendly and helpful :big_grin: .

 

Having done some training in the LSA55 i can say the J160-C is great,

 

excellent controls, electric flaps are a big plus, the the extra room is great! the only thing that took getting use to was the EFIS but im sure it will grow on me!

 

Here she is!

The school at Lilydale is operated by Roger and Jonathon Merridew (hope I spent the suname correctly).

 

It is in no way connected to the Tooradin Flying School.

 

There is J160 another on the way to Lilydale within around a month or so.

 

There is a new CFI at Lilydale for RA-Aus that left another flying school and also a number of GA and RAA instructors at the school.

w00t! went solo in the J160 :P, traffic was light and the sock was dead, so i could not have picked a better day for it, did 4 or 5 laps with the instructor then he hopped out :P, all went well :)
