I'm just interested in more info on the Endorsment
-
Check out this little sucker

Plenty of info here from the Late Tony Hayes, see his possibly biased thread - http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/thruster-v-drifter.4695/
-
I agree Mate, side by side so the Wife can build her confidence and you can hold hands or whatever, I am told the drifter is a bit more forgiving as a tail dragger but for a man of your experience .............

Any news articles or photo's yet ?

Hi Dinger Sounds like a problem with the radio plug, Vertex has two types, one just plugs in (Vertex 150) and the other screws in, using the wrong one will effect the seating depth of the plug. The Vertex 220 is the screw in type.

Did I mention the Mozzies

See http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/rainbow-beach-qld.62895/ Grass on sand, Parachute operations from field, is a private strip with locked gate but access available, Owner Ray Parker 0411 118 096, fair walk to town.

I heard that an aircraft had a nose wheel incident possibly collapse on Saturday morning, possibly a Cessna.

The SB582 at Caboolture Recreational Aviation has the lever control. JimG ( not Jim G) this forum is CFI that machine. If you PM him he may be able to assist.

A side effect of the seemless conversions to RPL may well be seemless conversions from and to HGFA, RAA and GA (MAYBE), See new form below - https://www.raa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pilot_certificate_converting_pilot-Sept-2014.pdf

Related topic - I have a theory about how Kangaroo's react to vehicles. When I see Roo's I maintain or reduce speed slowly, they don't seem to pay much notice. When a vehicle reduces speed quickly reducing pitch of engine Roo's are more likely to panic and dart everywhere. If your in the old 4wd and try to hit them with the raising pitch of the engine you can never get them unlike going to town in the Merc they seem attracted to the Bumper. The harder you try to miss them the more chance you have of hitting them. Not 100% but others may have had similar experiences.

They are there for the grass, you would have to get rid of the grass or fence them out. A couple of low passes will help but hope you don't have an engine issue.

Topic related - the next hurdle is to get the Endorsement as I believe there are no Factory built Aircraft with a certified Inflight Variable Prop. Got mine in the Texan at Go-Fly before RAA pulled the pin.
-
Not specifically related but the IVO is a noisy prop with its square cut ends IMHO
-
I'll rephrase, which is more reliable

Gyro's are controlled by a different body and their forum - http://www.asra.org.au/smf/index.php PS: Whats your location, someone might offer you a fly, then you will be bit

Hi Warren, love the vehicles, ea81's also popular in Gyrocopters, google Rotorcraft, might also get some bites there.

I have a 503 in a powered parachute with 160hrs and not a single problem. Usually runs mid 5's to low 6k revs 90% of time. Am looking to extend my rag and tube experience and getting into a drifter. Scouring the internet I see some issues with the 582 crank. Performance in the drifter would be better with the 582 but how much versus issues.
-
Empty weight is 307+ kg's, same as Savannah with a LOT less bulk, must be constructed using heavier materials and would be very strong. They are developing a wind effective fairing for the pilot but the passenger is sitting in 90kn wind. MTOW 600kg but no storage space
-
Same undercarriage and nose wheel as Savannah and no doubt Spirit and Vision.

Dazza, I think putting it out here was a good idea, your QUESTION has been answered and instead of the Rep answering numerous emails, it is here for others to see if that rumour gets to them.
