Hi all,
As I've just arrived in your region. I'll start with introducing myself.
My name is Eric and first of all : I have to precise that I'm not a native american-english speaker. (So don't worry if you don't understand what I'm writing/saying.. it comes from me )
So : I'm arrived in your nice and sunny region from France. I'm here for a couple of month now and I will stay in California 2 years, maybe 4, maybe more..
After my different installation's task, I'm finally ready to re-start my preferred flying activity (impatient to be honest).
I fly for 6 years now. Between 50 and 100 hours/year :
- a lot of coastal flight (I come from the Atlantic side of France.. not a lot of mountain.. a lot of winds),
- mountain/thermal flight as soon as possible (in Brittany the region I was living and French Alps too).
- few cross country (about 15 miles for my nicest one)
I've arrived with all my stuff and a complete NO-knowledge about US rule... (licensing ? assurance ? specific area rule ?)
About my stuff :
- I have my wing : a Nova Artax
- my radio (FM 2 meter class, 144-146 MHz ? Are you using same kind ?)
- my reserve (European Norm.. ?)
- my altimeter/variometer ( in "meter"... but I can try to put it in feet.. )
Now I'm waiting to meet you (all the local pilot), so you could try to explain to me everything.
I'm living in Ventura. I'm available on evening and week-end.
Give me a sign if you go somewhere on a flying site ? or in a pub ? Anyway I'll come.
Thanks you for reading me,
Eric.
