Overall positive. The C of A workshop was good, I especially liked the noise certification bit where you get a "Certificate that exempts you from requiring a certificate" bit.
Flew the Savannah and now understand the references by new owners to sensitivity in pitch and more importantly, the absolute advice by SAAA not to do the first test flight yourself!
Oz runways staff absolutely stand out helpful as were all of the others.
General comment: It is good that Skidmore and the Minister were positive because I personally feel that GA, SAAA and RAA are right at "the point of no return". The turnout and number of exhibitors may have been good by Ausfly standards, but for a nation of 23 million people its pathetic. I spent seven hours driving home and thinking of how the bush should be criss crossed with light aircraft moving people at a fraction of the time and cost I was putting in.
TO put that another way: If Australia had rules like NZ, I feel there would have been a thousand aircraft and a hundred exhibitors.
