greggf Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Two more good reasons for flying a Drifter. No legs this time :big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter_driver Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 hello greg, I am keen to know the actual performace specs(rate of climb,handling compared to 503 drifters,any noticable backswing due to heavier engineetc)of your 912 drifter. cheers sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggf Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 G'day Sunny. I've done very little flying of a 503 drifter - only a couple of brief hops in Wayne Fisher's trainer. Mine certainly has more inertia than the 503 version, but the additional engine mass doesn't cause any obvious sway. There is a lot of torque, and a pretty solid right foot is needed during takeoff, with full urge on, but no nasty tricks. Lots and lots of push. Solo I get around 1,000 fpm, and even with 2 adults aboard, I get around 700 fpm climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifter_driver Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 1000ft/min in a drifter, you are a lucky man Greg. I remember one of the flights one hot summer daylastyear (Andrew was in the back seat weighing approx.115+kgs) ROC was so rediculous Andrew was fluttering his hands(like a bird)on both sides trying to improve our rate of climb . Thanx for the info Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
