new to here

hi, everyone
I 'm new to here

Hi and welcome. What's the small-airplane situation in Hong Kong? I just
read that all of China is IFR-only, but is planning to create VFR some time.

And what's the Latin alphabet spelling of your name?

(by the way, is a valid email address at Microsoft,
but I suspect it's only used for some forms of testing)

Yes, be very careful, otherwise Mr. Hotze will climb all over you.

Oh, NT is reliable. You can count on it to keel over under just any
circumstance.

Call me Vincent. "®ö¤H" is just a nickname of mine in other Chinese newsgroups. Actually I dunno much about planes, not to mention small-airplanes. I just found this newsgroup and found that the stuff you guys discussed was very interesting.

Oh, sorry, I just filled in the email address casually. It was a fake one. It was not mine. But I dunno it is valid!

The point being made, Vincent, is that most of us seem not to have the
Traditional Chinese font installed, so your name is coming across as a bunch
of high-bit ISO8859-1 characters.

Stick around and enjoy. If you make a trip to the US, take $50 with you, go
to an airfield, find a flying school, and ask for an introductory ride. Your
life will change.

$50 for an introductory ride? how economical!
actually how is it about?

P.S. : you know, I am a Chinese and my English is very bad... very often, I
cannot express my idea accurately in English. If you don't understand my
English for the post in the future, please kindly ask for my elaboration.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Yes, it's pretty reasonable. Some places may charge a few dollars more.

I'm guessing that you mean what an introductory flight is like. They will show
you the controls and tell you how to use them and talk with you for a while. That
takes ten to twenty minutes. You will then sit in the left seat (that's the
pilot's seat), and an instructor will sit next to you in the right seat. He or
she will tell you what to do. Some schools will have the instructor take off
and then let you fly the plane for a while. Then they come back and land. Other
schools let you do all of the flying, but the instructor keeps his hands and
feet on the controls during takeoff and landing to help you out. The flight
usually lasts 20 minutes or so.
