  1. G`Day Garry, Brilliant! Thank you!!! .........Frank.
  2. Goodonya Ron! Can`t keep a good man down!!!... Here`s a couple more I took when I took a local friend of mine for a fly along the coast, yesterday. Frank.
  3. Just got back from a solo Croc spotting flight up the Mulgrave River! No Crocs` today but as we have a very low tide I decided to fly out to the heads for a couple more photos of the inlet, for the locals...Someone on here might like them.
  4. G`Day Ron ( Tail Spin ), Is this what you mean? Frank.

    G`Day Fred, No doubt! You are correct! What I meant was that I don`t see any end to the "BS", as you put it...I`ve been a member of the AUF now RAA since 1987 and I`m no more happy about it than anyone else. Frank.

    Nope! Not that I can see!... I`ve just renewed mine, online, $245. I`ve copied from the RAA Website. Posted 16 June 2017 Why are fees going up?The RAAus Board is determined to get RAAus back into surplus and a fee increaseis one measure that has been introduced to achieve this... Membership fees will rise on 1 July from $215 to $235. Frank.
  7. G`Day Jack, If you havn`t already done so, take a look at the Drifter Aircraft Appreciation Society, on facebook! Jordan Slark has a WB Drifter for sale. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=drifter aircraft appreciation society Franco.
  8. G`Day Mark, Thanks!... They keep coming, I`ll keep taking them!... I went up solo this afternoon, at low tide, to take a couple of photos of the sandbars in the mouth of the inlet at Russell Heads, for a couple of locals who use the inlet, I don`t charge and it keeps me in the good books with the locals...To stay as safe as possible, when I`m out over the ocean, I`m at 3500` amsl and I can quite easily glide back to my strip....I love it!
  9. Two years ago I had the pleasure of taking Ronald Rook for his first flight in a Drifter! Ronald is an Ultralight pilot, from way back and a J3 Kitten owner...Today I had the pleasure of taking Ronald`s son, Leonard, for his first flight in an Ultralight! Leonard has flown Gliders and his impression of our flight, " A fabulous experience".
  10. Hi Everyone, I`ve just come across this WB Drifter, advertised for sale, on Gumtree, 20 hours ago! https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-drifter/k0 https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/temora/miscellaneous-goods/ultralight-drifter-aircraft-wb-503dcdi/1185381347 Frank.
  11. Hi, Dirk, If you are on facebook, you can try, Drifter Aircraft Appreciation Society...

  14. My passengers don`t get a chance to get bored!!!...... .......LOL.
  15. Passenger enhancement ??? ...LOL.
  16. Not me, your sense of humor is great, I did wonder if you were fairdinkum though!
  17. I don`t know what you call a set! I made my own up years ago! A motorcycle shop should be able to make them up for you. Frank.
  18. I`ve had 4 Rotax 582 , all from new and currently running a Rotax 503 DCDI with E-type reduction gearbox. There`s no way I would use any additive, regardless of cost, to try and stop a seal from leaking...Keep in mind what the cost of an E.F.A.T.O. can be! Frank.

  20. Mother`s Day here at home today, with some of our family! Frank.
  21. Looks like the tail rotor sucked in a flag!

  23. Thanks again Pete, I appreciate it...I`ve been doing it since the late eighties...Just as a point of interest! Last year I took up backpackers from, Germany, Italy, France, Ireland,England,USA, South Korea and Columbia! All young people looking for something exciting to do in Aus! If flying Ultralights isn`t kept simple, exciting, fun and of course safe,the young guys of today won`t want to do it as there are many other exciting things to do these days. G`Day Peter, It`s what Ultralight flying should be all about and what those of us who started flying Ultralight`s back in the early day`s of the A.U.F. set out to achieve but I`m not sure that`s what it is these days. Those of us who started back then are no longer "Spring Chickens" , it`s now up to the younger guys to take recreational flying in the direction they want to go and it appears to me it`s going ever more in line with G.A. and G.A. style aircraft. Frank.
  24. Thanks Pete! I intend to keep flying for as long as I`m able....If you`re ever up my way come in and say G`Day, who knows, we might even be able to go for a fly.....Cheers. Yeah Nev! When we got back on the ground, Marty was very impressed (most people are) he said and I quote, " Brilliant! it puts a completely different perspective on life, I want to do it again", My answer, " Now you know why I continue to fly the Drifter".Frank.
  25. This is Marty Hind, one of our locals here at Deeral...Marty`s birthday today so I took him Drifter flying...First time Ultralight flight. This is Russell Heads at low tide...Russell river on the left, Mulgrave river on the right...The area below the red dot is our property and where I fly from. Frank.
