farri Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Shaun, Is your Drifter a wire braced, Austflight,Maxair or a Wayne Fisher built. Cheers, Frank.
farri Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I learnt in the 503 wb, fantastic little machine they are, still fly the 503, but also the 582 sb, goes like a rocket! G`Day Tomo, I`ve put a couple of 582 SB Drifters through their paces and I reckon a good WB 503 will out perform them every time,I know mine will. Cheers, Frank.
Tomo Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 G'Day Tomo,I've put a couple of 582 SB Drifters through their paces and I reckon a good WB 503 will out perform them every time,I know mine will. Yes I agree, the 582 gives it just a little more push when fully loaded. But yes the 503 goes very well. But overall their numbers are very close indeed.
Quick Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Mines a Austflight and used to be one of Wayne Fishers trainers. If you guys have done training with him, you could very well have flown my drifter. LOL.
farri Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 G`Day Quick, you and I have something in common,my Drifter is one of Austflight`s original trainers and was probably built by Wayne Fisher,when he was working there. Man,has mine had some bums in the seats and put some pilots in the air,wouldn`t swap or sell it for any amount,couldn`t get a better one.. :face and heart: Cheers, Frank.
