Hi & looking for a broken Drifter or similar

[Guest Nick0351]

Hi I have just joined and am looking to rebuild or tidy up a Drifter in particular, but may look at something else , looking for something reasonably cheap and am prepaired to put in the hours to fix up while i am learning to fly. If anyone knows of anything i would be eager to consider it

 

Thanks Nick

You've talked to Wayne? Drifters are tricky to work on and can become expensive fast. I paid $10k for my first drifter and it cost another $8k and lots of work before I had what I wanted.

Yes i,v spoken to Wayne I have the hanger next to him so Iv got space and am looking for the right project to start on, what type of ultralight would you throw at me to consider

If your in the hanger next to spectrum aviation and are willing to pay for the odd bit of help from wayne I'd definatley get a drifter. They are a strange aircraft in some ways and there are many 'tricks' when working on them. I dont know if it is your first aircraft but I know that on my first I found that cheap wasnt the best value! That said, if you have the time, space and advice close by (and a source for all the parts you will need) than an old workhourse may be the go.

 

I'm assuming your learning in a drifter? if you are than it is another good reason.

 

The other reason is just becasue being out the front of one is awsome!:thumb_up:

 

Sorry I dont know of any, last time I spoke to wayne he mentioned there where a heap for sale, what are they like?
