A32 VIXXEN
Would you like to combine cross country speeds with very short take offs and landings? We believe the flight envelope of this aircraft is truly unique in its sheer spread of speeds; allowing the pilot to land and take off in very small areas, loiter safely at slow speed and cruise cross country to go places quickly. With the benefit of the high wing, the view is almost unrivalled for an RA aircraft. As several owners have commented, the more you fly one, the more you realise what a GREAT aircraft they really are! Link below to the Vixxen website to introduce you to the aircraft, improve your knowledge and whet your appetite to learn more, and enjoy the freedom that comes with learning to fly. http://www.foxbat.com.au/2020-a32-vixxen.html

A little more about our club. We have a well setup clubhouse with some great facilities. The briefing room is quiet and separate allowing the students a more personal training experience for both better concentration and individual needs. There is a large screen television hooked to a laptop which assists greatly the visual/theory training experience. The clubhouse also has well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating, good sized function area, great heating/cooling a fantastic view of the runway and surrounds as far as the eye can see. Visitors are most welcome at our club we love to meet new friends at the club. We would also love being able to introduce you to the wonderful world of aviation. We like to hold open days at least twice a year, depending on weather and other circumstances of course; this is a great opportunity for everyone to come and get to know us and see the array of aircraft in our beautiful town, meet the friendly faces of our club, enjoy an cuppa and often a snack, cake, biscuit even the occasional bbq, or camp oven depending on the weather. In fact the coming few months there would be no better time than to head out and see us, or give one of the committee a ring. For anyone who may be interested in joining our club or coming to see what we are about; our AGM will be held this Saturday commencing at 3.30pm in the clubhouse. Cheers All and as they say:

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”
