Thanks Tomo, I didn't know where to download it. I got mine from a friend. Dave if you have any trouble let me know and I will email it. Monty

Tomo don't kick yourself, Everyone knows what airworthy means and it is up to the individual owner to keep it that way. Probably a case of can't afford it having a young family and everything. that is why I have only just started flying 14 months ago. all my kids have grown up. Monty

I'm with you Luke, I trained with Wayne Fisher for my licence and it would be one of the best experiences in my life. He is an awesome pilot. Wayne fully rebuilt my drifter while I was there but it still is an old Austflight Drifter (even though it is a lot better) and still has the original limitations. I also would give my left one for a fisher MK1 or Mk2 Monty

Hi guy's, just a bit of info on the drifter. I have an Ausflight Drifter and they are rated at +4.06 and -3.00 with no more than 60 degrees bank angles and under no condition aerobatic manoeuvres, including spins. this is from the manual. However I have done spins and such only so I know what to do if an emergency does happen. You do need to know what the plane can and can't do. I am only a novice at flying so I am not sure of the affects of G's but figure that when your eye sockets are popping thats too fast. I have the Ausflight Austrailian Drifter Operators manual on my computor if anyone has a Drifter (or not) and would like a copy emailed to them. Just my 2 Cents worth. Monty

Thanks Arthur, The one I saw was definitely a drifter. But the air cam does look something like it. Monty

I was searching google one day and came across a Drifter with twin 912 rotax on it. It was awsome looking! but havn't been able to find it again. It was in USA I think. Now that was overpowered!! Monty
-
I have just put an order in. We can never get enough info to keep safe. Monty
-
God Bless the families who are left behind. Just shocking! I hope we can all learn from the details when we get them. Ian, may be the hat could be passed around if needed. Count me in. Monty

Very well said Kenchhidu. I have seen that attitude myself on a number of occasions. I only hope it can change. Monty

Would just love one or even two. fun fun fun!!!

Great stuff Dave, Looking forward to seeing some photos when your up and going. I found a crack in the elevator tube this morning so I am about to sleeve it so I can muster in the morning. I will take my box brownie with me tomorrow and see what I can get. Monty

Thanks for the info Ian, Do you know what sort of HP and Running Time the engine has. Thanks again Monty

Welcome Frank, I hope you enjoy the site. how about a few photos of the lovely green Irish country side. Monty

Hi Gorden, Welcome to the site. There is quite a few gyros out west here used for mustering. I wouldn't swap one for the Drifter but they look like a lot of fun. Anything that gets you off the ground is ok with me. Monty
-
Good on ya Stewy, I was like you 48 untill I started. You will love it and welcome. Monty
-
G'day Dave , Yes I do!! That wa a quote from a passenger. I just love it. Yes they are realy good for photography, I wish I had a better camera but I am generaly having too much fun to take photos. Monty

Welcome Aboard David, Hope you enjoy the site Monty

Good point Powewin, As a RAA pilot I fly every chance I get, About 80Hrs a year. I know a few Raa pilots and they all fly beteew 50 and 100hrs a year. I know 3 GA PPLs and they would be lucky if they fly 30Hrs a year and that would be a good year. As for RAA pilots I belive they would fly a lot more hours than PPLs. I am not talking about Pilots that do it for a living but pilots that do it for enjoyment. As I do!!! This is just my opinion and the pilots that I know. It would be great to find out what the real stats are. Monty

Hi Steve and Mick, I was born in 1960 and only took it up 15 months ago. I wish someone had shown me the light when I was a lot younger. Welcome to the site. there is a lot of great people and info on here if you want it. Monty
-
G'day Les, I am glad you have seen the light again. Welcome to the site and I hope it doesn't take long to get back in the air. monty
-
welcome to the site Dave, What do you mean by full size? what did you use to fly and what do you fly now? I hope you get as much out of the site as I have. Monty
-
Thanks Dexter, I hope I never have to make that decision but if I do I hope I can make the right one!! Just as you did. You walked away from it so it was the right decision, I think that a lot of pilots would have frozen from that hight with only a split second to make a decision. Good on ya mate and I hope you are back in the air soon. Monty
-
Well said cficare, Glad to have you on the side of truth. Monty
-
well done dexter,any landing you walk away from is a good one. Realy sorry about the plane. you can always get another plane but we can't get another Dexter. Glad to hear you are both ok. Monty
-
Sounds like everyone had agood time. Great photos Tomo and I know what you mean by the camera light setting. It must just be the western light, I get some like that at times . Thanks for the pics Monty
