Chris Willars Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hello to all. Just moved over to the Noosa, Sunshine Coast area of QLD 3 weeks ago from NZ. Any help out there. Looking for a club and aircraft to hire to sort out my Aussy PPL and a Tailwheel endorsement. Have nearly 200 hrs on a Kiwi PPL with Day VFR ratings for C150/152/172, Piper warrior, Alpi 300RG, Tecnam Golf and Robin 2120/HR200. Also looking for a sporty, cheap to maintain funster to get around in and enjoy some flying. Looking forward to meeting all of the flyers here in Australia and seeing some of the local scenery from the right location, 1000ft up :big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Howdy mate! Welcome along:thumb_up: Sorry about the belated welcome... I just noticed you!:ah_oh: I'm not real sure about local clubs etc... over there, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help you with that. Have fun, Fly safe, and don't be afraid to join in! Ps. A fun little acft would have to be a Drifter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Willars Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks for the welcome, Drifting sounds fun, think the better half might want something a little more substantial. :) Got one or 2 numbers to call, I will see where the local scene takes me.....

Aerenco Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi Chris. Not much near Noosa but take a drive down to Caboolture and there are AUF aircraft down there, a Tecnam Echo available. There is also a J-3 Cub which will get that tailwheel endorsement sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a J-3 Cub which will get that tailwheel endorsement sorted out. Went up to Suncoast Caloola Flying and getting my RA-Aus Certificate sorted. Friendly and lovely new Evector Sportstar with that New Plane smell. J3 endorsement sounds good, been meaning to do that for some time. May see you there sometime.
