sorry Alan, should have put in more info, just getting started getting everybody notified properly

 

it's traditionally held at Boonah, we call it a 'breakfast' so we don't have insurance hassles and the need for all sorts of public/visitor 'safety arrangements'

 

sunday is a good day for it so those coming a long way can spend saturday getting there, stay the night (camping OK either underwing or in the hangar) then zip off at lunchtime sunday

 

when i have all the final info i'll make formal posts

 

cheers

Anyone looking for a good Drifter?..My previously owned 582 Cable braced 25-0452 will be on the market again soon. It has just been fitted with new Wayne Fisher skins all round, and the current owner has done some cockpit mods whilst he has owned it. The aircraft has always been hangared and always well maintained. Currently it would have about 650 genuine hours with a no damage history. Current owner has recently purchased a Pulsar XP so the Drifter has to go.

 

Current owner is our forumite KB59 if you wish to contact him direct.................................................Maj...

You might want to make some “REAL WOMAN FLY TAILDRAGGERS” stickers before Sandra reads this.:big_grin:

BP, The way the wind has been blowing here, if I`d left yesterday,heading south,I`d be over Cairns by now !!! 006_laugh.gif.0f7b82c13a0ec29502c5fb56c616f069.gif022_wink.gif.2137519eeebfc3acb3315da062b6b1c1.gif

 

Kiwi, A lady called Sandra and her partner were students of mine! She was a fine pilot in the Drifter!!!

 

They owned a Drifter for several years then went to a Lightwing.

 

Some women do fly Tail Dragers!!! :thumb_up:

 

Frank.

 

Ps, For those who don`t know, Cairns is 45 k north of here.

Hi,

 

What happens at your gathering? I am about to start my conversion training in a drifter and wouldn't mind dropping in for a look. Probably not in the Drifter by that date though.

 

Boonah is east of the range right?

 

Cheers,
