Drifter Flight Video

[Guest Fred Bear]

Hello all,

 

Below is a little video I put together of flight in Sunny's Drifter on the weekend out of The Oaks. It was extremely hot and humid on the ground so it was awesome to get up there and do a local flight with just shorts and a t-shirt!Absolutely awesome too to fire up the Drifter after 4 months of Sunny being away. Realised just how much I missed the open-air flying. Here's to many more flights ahead Sunny!;)

Yep great video...keep'em coming. I also noticed he took up the whole runway for take off..

Thanks guys. No no, this is airborne just building enough speed up close to the ground so we can clear the end of the runway and obstructions safely. You would be surprised how much more lift we got by Sunny flapping his arms. :)

Enjoyed the video again :big_grin:... You are right Darren , nothing quite like the open cockpit on a hot sunny day ....Beautiful ..;)... All we have to do now is talk John into getting a Jab motor in the Bantam , you never know , we may even see 60kts on the ASI one day ;)
