kevb Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Hey Frank, Here's a couple of pic's of this weekends efforts, managed to sneak in between the storms. Cheers, Kev 2 2
kevb Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Hey Guy's, It's pretty wet up here at the moment, so I've been going through some of the footage that I've taken over the year. Here's one of the Hornet at Dundee Beach. I went looking for camping sights and landed at Dundee Lodge for a cuppa and ran into a friend, he was keen for a fly so I took him up. It was his first time in a small aircraft and he was a bit nervous, the knuckles were pretty white as he was clutching the A frame on take off but the smile on landing was pretty big. As you can see it was a great day for a fly. This is my first time posting from you tube so let's see how it goes. 6
BJFly Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Nice Kev, "go the Hornet". Merry Christmas mate.
farri Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 Fran and I had Christmas day lunch with our eldest daughter Linda and her family at their Tinaroo Park property, on the Atherton Tablelands then back home here at Deeral to get together with the rest of our family. I Couldn`t resist a fly and when I landed my next door neighbour Bruno and his son, Ingram, were waiting to say Merry Christmas! As I don`t get to see Ingram very often, I offered to take him for a fly. Frank. 2
kevb Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Love it Frank, I wasn't game to drop a hint about going for a fly, hope you and your family had a great day. Kev. 1
farri Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 Love it Frank,Kev. Yeah Kev, So do I and thank you, we all did have a great day! Hope you and your family did also! This afternoon, two of my close neighbours, Phil and his son Andre, paid me a visit, in their model T Ford...Oh! By the way! Both Phil and Andre have flown with me in the Drifter!!! Frank. 2
bexrbetter Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Wow just caught up with the thread Frank, brilliant Mate! 1
Kiwi Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 We had the family over for Xmas and managed to take some of them flying in the 182T, with the intentions of also taking them up in the Rans and Drifter but unfortunately the rain set in. Late in the afternoon in between showers I took my 15 year old niece up in the Drifter. When I asked her which she liked best, she said the Drifter. (sorry Alan) 5

IBob Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Them's fuel tanks, not boosters....meaty elevator linkage but cunningly concealed rudder cables......and this would clearly be the LWB version:
facthunter Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Velly small fuel tanks near border, no? 1
IBob Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Is it a three seater??? Looks that way. Maybe so the state can make sure there's no fraternising???
