How about we drop the thread before I get myself banned. -

Gday Obi, sorry I thought we were in a private chat. My mistake. I’m always amused that people feel the need to comment when they dont know the full subject. Feel free to PM me. Cheers Brian. -

Gday Obi, The Bolly went straight on. There was no need to change anything else. There was a little trial and error with getting the best pitch angle. Now the engine won’t over rev. The fuel burn increased a little but I am happier with the extra power. ( I’m 130kg and needed all I could get.) I’m home next week and send you the details you are after. Send me your mobile number, I’ll give you a call from the hangar. Cheers Brian. -

Gday Obi, I still have my Brogla prop I removed serviceable from my Drifter. I can't remember what size Bolly I replaced it with. 3 balde. I'm currently in WA for work, i can have a look when I get home if.you want. Cheers Brian. -
Swap them out and put a set of Blackmax disc brakes on it. Get the parts from AircraftSpruce. Well worth the effort.

There is a reason why NOBODY (with a 30min exception) has flown my Drifter from the front seat in the 15 years I’ve owned her. Rules are in place for a reason.

I have a 4 blade Brolga prop (17 degree blocks) spare in my hangar. But if you are looking to upgrade, get a Bolly. -

The ATSB publish all reports. It would nice to know the causes of accidents so we can prevent it from happening again. If there was a fault with Drifters causing accidents I would certainly want to know. But for some reason the RAA decide not to publish this information. Why?
