It seems like good value compared to Singapore which is at least twice the price.
We flew the Jabiru east from Archerfield out to the coast over Stradbroke Island. It was bumpy down at pattern altitude but once we got up over 2000' it was a beautiful day for flying.
How bumpy was it during takeoff?
ReplyDeleteIt was a little bumpy up until about 1500 feet. But you get used to it after a while bouncing around.
