G'day!

I am new GA, I have just 9 hours so far and am on a SPL.

I was with a school in MB flying the Jabiru but I was not happy with my instructor (nothing personal I just didn't feel happy) so joined another school who use the C152, I personally prefer this aircraft to the Jabiru.

Do you think I did the right thing to change from the Jabiru to C152? does it make much of a difference?

I am hoping to get my GFPT by the end of October if the weather permits

My dream would be to fly solo from Melbourne to Cairns to visit my Gran

I am reading the Aviation theory center BAK book and also the radio telephony book. I have also been given another flying manual which I go through before each flight.

So far the theory aspect is ok & not too complicated for me, one thing I don't quite fully understand is why we land in to the wind? would it not be quicker to land with the wind to arrive earlier?

well I am glad I found this site, I hope it is ok for people like me to post.
