Tomo Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Here's a few picture's taken from my phone at about 3000' this afternoon in the Drifter... beautiful weather for cruising around, unfortunately I was stuck to only the 5 mile radius. Did 1.6hrs Solo this afternoon... Yeehaa! Yours Truly..!
Guest Maj Millard Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Nice clear day down there too I see, looks a bit chilly in the Drifter. I did 1.2 from a cattle station this morning, to Starke field in absolutly pristine air, with an 8kt tailwind in the Lightwing. When I went out yesterday morning I also had a 6kt tailwind...go figure. Good to see you stirring up that Drifter !!
Tomo Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah it was about 8-10kt westerly winds blowing today also, perfect clear sky.... Gonna be cold tomorrow morning I reckon!!

Just a bit of self ego.... the guys on the ground reckon my landings were great, rated 10/10, which I was highly surprised by, 'cause I thought they weren't that good!

I can do any manouver with the engine stoped that I can do with the engine running. Frank. PS. In the interest of the safety of those reading this. Do not attempt it unless completely capable and competent,It can be dangerous.
