Hey MD.

Hobart, like the boys have said is a great place. Yep still some bargains to found in the property stakes. WX can be very interesting with CAVOK to BKN below 400 from 0 to 6 secs, however this will ensure you think about fuel and having an escape option.

Winds during winter can also be a challenge for most Single Eng Machines with a small tail rotor. Due to the latitude some hell winds blow from the west wich is fine on the East coast at Low Level however rescues on the Western side means lots of planning and the middle of the island is Tiger country central with icing and Turb to contend with.

If you go you will definately enjoy. Make sure you don't inadvertantly end up on a job in an IFR environment with a VFR mind set. Fuel + LSALT = Options

Enjoy Mate. Hope this helps.

Give It Some!!!!
