Kiwi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Welcome EddieO, By the look of your flag you will need a lot of fuel onboard if you ever plan to visit in a Drifter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieO Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for the welcome, and your right,I wont be showing up on your doorstep in my Drifter,but...If I could ever make it to Aussie land, it would be a must, to see some of your remarkable country in a begged or borrowed Drifter from down under. Also I am thrilled to see people are still enjoying this great design and enjoying the view from the Catbird seat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Herring Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi All The best part about this post is the proof that grass roots aviation is alive and well..... it is for me as well since we purchased our AEROCHUTE...! Best Regards Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Eddie O, What do you use them for down there, shootin' Gators !?....the Drifter has been very popular here in Australia for many years. We have some early imported 'Maxair' models, and many Aussie built Drifters both wire and strut braced models. Many are beefed up big time so they can handle training. They continue to be popular here for both training and private use........................ Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 fed up with the notice to introduce myself hoping the notice will go away now, Hi to any real aviators you know you fly a Drifter. G'day C722352 and EddieO, not forgetting our Maj Millard who is already well known to us. A big welcome guys, you'll love this site. We look forward to hearing more from you.

He seen the doctor about it, but the doc reckons he's beyond help. lol :) maybe you're the same. Kind regards Planey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEON Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Did a bit of time in a Drifter last year doing the normal bunch of endorcements (TW,LP,2S,LL) and enjoyed it so much purchased a Fisher 912...waiting delivery currently.That would be called a Super Drifter in USA, but wire/not strut braced. Don't know how much use it will get on the Darling Downs during winter with other HEATER equiped aircraft in the hanger, but can hardly wait to have it for the "low and slow" flights when a bit above brass monkey temperature.
