G`Day everyone,

Is anyone interested in,what we used to call,Ultralight Aircraft,now called,Recreational Aircraft?.

if i had the time and money i would get into it but being young and poor i spend all my money on my W/S

G`Day Maverick040,

Never let anyone tell you that money is a problem,It`s the lack of it that`s the problem.

Cheers,
Frank.

I am interested. But they seem to crash a little too often for my liking.
I don't get the kitesurfing joke? I'm serious, I've tried reading it over and over, but nothing explains the green thumbs up?

Yes there is such a thing as a powered glider ,

called a motor glider. they are quite cool.

i dont know about any opendays or anything. just google them with pages from australia on and look for some clubs

im interested in powered glyders [spelling?? even a type of aircraft??] and wouldn't mind knowing about any open days or other such events from an organised club or some sort of perth group

The local (WA) organisation which is into all that sort of stuff is the Sports Aircraft Builders Club operating out of Serpentine Airfield, about 20km south of Jandakot airfield.
The airfield is a private one run by the club but they have an annual open day, usually on the long weekend in early March where everyone is welcome to come along and see the many home built aircraft and flying displays.
Well worth a look if you're into that sort of thing.

They have a website,.. www.sabc.org.au/
