[drifterdude]

I am looking to buy a 1996 Aussie Drifter with a 2200 Jabiru engine. I live in the St Petersburg Florida USA area. Is this a decent flying ultralight? any help is GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Kevin

Warm summer evening flying in a Drifter cannot be beaten.

AFAIK.......Jabbie engines can be a bit problematic with cooling in a pusher config. As I say AFAIK ! Could be wrong..........wouldn't be the first time.............or the last.

Jab support various pushers, check their website for more details. Lots of Tornadoes have them but the Titan factory recommend the 912S

Hi Kevin, I know nothing about Jabiru engines so I can`t help there and without seeing the aircraft it is almost impossible to determine if it is " a decent flying ultralight " but I`ll try and help if I can.

 

You say it is a 1996 Aussie drifter. Was it built in Australia and if so by who and is it wire braced ( WB ) or strut braced ( SB ) ?
