I want to be a bird!!!
-
Does anyone here have any experience flying? I mean recreational flying such such as flying light- aircrafts, microlights, trikes, gliders etc.
I have always wanted to learn how to fly. I came across this flying school in Malaysia (http://climbmax.org/) that teaches trike flying. Sounds interesting and i am thinking of taking up the course. If anyone here has any experience, knowledge, opinion etc etc please share. -

Well, it depends on what kind of aircraft you wana fly. Entry requirements for flying fighter jets or commercial airplanes are quite stringent. They might take in people with less than perfect eye sight but only after special consideration.
The one i am talking about deals with light aircrafts flown for a hobby. Eyesight or for that matter, age, height, weight etc are not very important. As long as you are of acceptable physical condition, they will take you in (and of course, you got to show them the money!!!

i'm currently 17, doing my private pilot's licence course with the singapore youth flying club, just flew my first solo a few days ago. Part time flying is quite time consuming, not to mention cash consuming too. I'm rather priveleged to do it without paying for fuel and maintenance etc, as the club (which is affiliated to the RSAF) takes care of them...i just have to pay for study materials and any retakes of failed CAAS papers (there are 6 of them, i haven't taken any yet, hopefully i don't fail any).
I'm not sure if trike flying is similar to conventional light aircraft flying, but personally, i'd encourage you to take up either one if you know you'll enjoy doing something like that, as i do. If you're taking the course part time, make sure you can juggle flying and your job well, as it gets quite demanding sometimes (I have to be at seletar around 8 hours a week, either flying or having groundschool, in addition to my JC1 workload), and furthermore, you have to travel to malaysia to do it. But if you think you're up for it, I would say just go for it.
Have you tried seletar flying club yet? they operate cessna 172s out of seletar, and do PPL courses too...don't know about the cost. their website is http://www.seletar-flying-club.org/
all the best, and happy flying -

You say you want to be a bird not I want to fly like a bird so
So, you are telling me that if i had posted the thread under the title "i want to fly like a bird" you would have kept your mouth shut. Nice try dude.
figuratively it doesn't.. how can you be a bird?
If you are not able to relate figuratively how "i want to be a bird" relates to wanting to learn how to fly an airplane, you got to head back to school. -

@sgFish
Thanks for the info. As far as i know the flying clubs in Singapore do not fly light weight aircrafts such as trikes and gliders. They mostly have cessnas and such stuff. I am not really interested in learning to fly those. I prefer something like a trike since it gives a sense of total freedom(there is no enclosing cabin you see). Moreover, training at YFC is expensive.
Anyway, congrats on your first solo flight. How did it go?[/b] -
i'd rather leave my flying to the pilot of a jumbo jet i'm in
but what i am interested in is getting my paws on a sub-micro r/c helicopter
been looking high and low around for a place which will help me put it together
