Hi Rumby if your looking for a drifter l know where one is for $10.000 its only done about 70 hrs since full rebuild.

owner has lost intrest.

Enjoy you will love the maxair one of the best.

Hi Ryan there should be a screw on the throttle body side of the carby to set idle ,if mine cable brakes my engine goes to full throttle it is a safety feature so you can still fly you would have to be quick to shut the engine down if it happened on rounding out.

Hi Andrew here is the link for ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ultralight-Aircraft-/190546194881?pt=AU_Aircraft&hash=item2c5d7031c1

l taught myself to fly a scout in 80s and easyriser they where great fun in those days we didnt need a licence just read some instructions and away we go they where real ultralights getting them up was easy get down was not a few bent undercarriges .

Hi if your looking for one there is one listed on ebay mk2 scout.

Hi they turn with rudder you dont need ailerons to turn

Hi we have used mini radiators with 582 they are working fine fitted to a maxair drifter not sure what aircraft you are fitting it on, go to the motor wreckers they cheap.

She has talent Tomo.

Thats is a great poem brings back memories when l taught myself to fly .

Surely someone has a pair of old Drifter spats they don't want???

I have been looking today for the scotchbrites they are not that common around here. I found some 125mm ones that have the hook and loop method of attachment late today but need to get a orbital sander a round one I take it that you used. The only one I have here is a rectangular one so might have to take a trip to bunnings and get a cheapie...I prices a "cheap" 3M one today..about $250 for the air ones. I have the wattle super etch and also the primer and want to get the firewall and inside front of the cockpit and firewall etched and primed and the outer firewall painted so I can add the rest of the parts on there and then install the noselegMark

ps check ebay there are some on there at the moment.

No I got to get my bum into gear and get some wire from you will do an order in a day or so ...a question when painting etch prime you need to scotchbrite the alu first so I am told...other than by hand do you know any other easier way?Mark

Hi Pud l use Penrite Hi per two stroke semi-synthetic oil now .l was using penrite greenslim until they stopped making it due to some legal problems . we had over 830hrs on that oil in a 503 with no problems,

six of my freinds use the penrite hi per in air and water cooled rotaxes with good results.

As far as fuchs oil goes the name says it all we used that brand of oil in the dozers and excavtors and had nothing but trouble.

heheheh,hey getting close, I'm heading up to QLD to get the fox mid July

ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME !!!

Got mine today same fomat as RAA .

Too many ads ,if l buy an aircraft out of the mags Classified do l get the whole aircraft or whats in the pics.

Not the best and who came up with the name.

Hi Pud how much of the engine is damaged it seems a bit much for a rebuild

cheers Geoff..

Sorry officer l will pull over up here and fix it so l wont disturb the tourist cant upset them.

Hi l agree l got so bits from CPS last month took credit card details got the price of the items and no postage costs they said they dont no postage cost at this time anyway check my account two days later postage was $112.00

when parts came postage was only $78.00 on the parcel l have emailed them twice about the difference in price but no responce. As far as b flood l think l own the company now as well.
