sahyde Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Hi David. I started at Feilding in 2002 and the drifter had been left to them then.It has had a complete rebuild since then and looks really good. I have just replaced the tail spring and wheel as the spring broke the other day.Cheek out www.manawatumicrolightclub.org.nz/- and you can see her .I bought his flying suit off his wife to use when fling my mirage .Cheer Stan
eightyknots Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 G'day Stan, Welcome to this great forum! I live in Carterton, about 1.6 hours away (by car that is). I am sure you'll enjoy reading and contributing. Eightyknots.
sahyde Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 Hi David. Not really sure when the seal went down,before my time.It has been widened since to allow for the bigger twins.It is a very busy airfield now with about 80 to 90 aircraft handered there .Not sure about the mustang but I will ask at the club tommorow. Cheers Stan
