Guest max1090for2 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi Guys, New to the world of RAA, just completed my conversion in a Drifter. A fantastic machine. I fly floatplanes for a job so it is a nice change to finally go flying again just for the fun of it (without putting up with the customers). I plan buy a drifter shortly, and convert it to floats, which shouild be a real experiance.... Safe flying Max1090for2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPete Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 G'day Maxi (for short). Does a Drifter with floats get called a Floater? :big_grin::big_grin: regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farri Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Max10900for2, Welcom,I think you`ve made a good choice for affordable fun flying,I flew a 503 Maxair Drifter, on floats,many years ago,the floats were huge compared to the aircraft and even with a Rotax 503 engine,it still performed beautifully. Have fun. farri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest max1090for2 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks farri, I found the drifter a dream to fly.. I am yet to fly one on floats, but i'm looking forward to the day.. i am currently in WA working, (along way from any drifters) and trying to gather information... any advice would be much apreciated. Thanks again Damien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilby54 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you had real estate with the same views as a Drifter then you'd be sittin' on a fortune and you want water views to boot! Lucky bugger. Great aircraft and welcome to the forums Damien. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
