Hi Nev, thank God our seat belt is not long enough to get to the prop but it is a very valid point for other airplanes as well. Seat belt into the prop will be for sure a very dangerous situation. Thank you for the tip.

You are just right about it. Maybe, to remember to buckle the seatbelt while at altitude, that way if we have an emergency while taking off he will be restrained. Good thinking, thank you for your insight, we are learning.

Good day to every one, Always happy to see our Drifter's in action led by Franco Arri. We are trying to keep moving in Florida. Two days ago we performed our first skydiving drop from our Drifter. Jumping from 4500 feet at 55 knots. The change of CG with the jumper on the front only required some pressure on the stick but was really smooth. The effect of the skydiver leaving the airplane was surprisingly unnoticeable.

-Franco, You are so right. - Houston, forget this nonsense about landing on Mars, changing flight plan. Direct to Deeral Landing, Cairns. Will need inflight refueling

- Houston, we are on final Approach to Mars.

Frank, The angle of climb looks impressive but it is not so. Really it is a combination of doing a Zoom climb for the pictures and the angle at which the camera was placed. As soon as I passed that point I had to not only level but to dive a little to keep flying. Keep the great job of taking up passengers and increasing the great reputation the Drifter deserves.

Happy t Happy to share. I wish you good landing and tailwinds on your cross country flights.

You are right about it. Thanks God the manager of the airfield keep it looking great the whole year. It is the best kept secret in SouthFlorida.

The time spent flying with friends...Priceless! For everything else, there is a credit card. Happy for you and Frances. Keep it up.

I took my brother for his second flight ever. He came from Cuba two weeks ago and is discovering the world. I took him on the Drifter on the front seat. After we landed I took him around Tamiami airport. He saw this airplane and wanted to take a picture with the helmet. "This is how I felt while flying the Drifter" he said.

About the sunken speedboat. It is sad that it sunk two hundred yards from the Coconut Grove marina showed in one of the pictures.
