S.Drifter Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'm new in here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I own a couple of oriinary planes and one proper one (2 cessna's and a kit built Drifter).Use the cessna's as commuters between properties and the Drifter for work. Fly most days depending on work and still learning to fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Drifter Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 very nice !! I have also noticed you have an unusual back seat for a drifter. cheers The back seat is a 65l gyro seat, it's a bit squeezy for passengers which gives me a good excuse not to take them with. Gives a combined fuel load of 95L, have a few other modifications to make it more user friendly.One problem I have withthe drifter is water and oil temps or the lack of, as this was a prototype we went to a large radiator(VW golf) and found out that this is too much and have to cover it even in summer. In winter I have the oilcooler and the radiator fully covered and the oil tank and hose's wrapped in insulationand still only manages 80/80c,other than that it's the best mustering bike I've ever had.

S.Drifter Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Had to put the sunnys on for that Drifter. Ask Wayne about THAT, we got the colour mixed at a local paint shop, it didnt look right in the tin so we decided it would dry into the proper colour........it didn't and so it stayed , after 6years I'm still not used to it!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
