well done Mate and congratulations - welcome to the ranks

Good stuff BP, congratulations and good luck with your hunt for the drifter. have a look at wayne's sport model as well if looking for new one, its highly chuckable (maneuverable with crisp handling) if there is such a word.

 

cheers

maybe this is the one

 

talking to wayne fisher this afternoon, he has emailed me a list of acft for sale

 

top of the list is a nice strutter 582 owned by one of his employees that needs some work - with a new set of sails, a re-paint touchup and new wheel pants it looks like coming in at around the $16k mark

 

will be driving down to lismore on satdee to take a peek, will keep ya's all informed

 

if we go ahead with this one i won't be getting involved in the delivery, hopefully Grummo (jab driver) will take one of the boonah drifter drivers for a quick fly to lismore to bring her back for me, then i'll enjoy the short lil flight to me home base at roadvale

 

fingers crossed, will post some pix if it all goes well, wish me luck :big_grin:

 

cheers

Any Luck?

 

Hi Boleropilot,

 

Were you ever able to recover your funds from that seller of a forgery of a Drifter?

 

Inquiring minds would like to know :-)

 

Best Regards,

no luck

 

actually no, he originally told me he would refund $600, i offered $100, but i have received nothing thumb_down

 

i have since sent him a letter requesting the money be returned in full or legal action would be taken

 

he has passed the time limit for the return of my funds so legal action is now being finalised - it's a real pity he didn't return just the $1k because now he will be sued for the $1k, all our trip expenses, the cost of the ferry pilot, and all legal fees

 

by the way, he is watching these posts
