  1. I recently bought a new ICOM A15 radio and would like to get a battery eliminator to run it off the aircraft battery (12v). Our club Drifters are fitted with them but they no longer appear to be a ICOM spare. It is a battery case with a lead able to be connected to A 12v source. Anyone know where I can obtain one? Wayne

  7. Those Drone guns send a 'blanketing frequency signal' that interrupts the signal from the drone operators transmitter being received by the drone, once the drone has lost contact with the transmitter, most are programmed to return to the home point which is usually where they took off from.

  9. Thanks good friend, my wife and I were priviledged to have a relaxing day as passengers on board a R44 for a round trip, Toowoomba, Bribie Island, Caboolture & return. We had two close calls with birds and short final at Caboolture and shortly after takeoff with a hawk/kite. It's hard to believe they actually located the Dump/Land Fill right next to the airfield. It was a nice day for flying with plenty of traffic in the Caloundra, Caboolture and Redcliffe areas with constant radio chatter. Here are a few photos taken today.
  10. I would think dope would do the job ok. I put some inspection rings on the underside of my wing and the the dope just softened the paint and the fabric stuck on well. Wayne.

  14. You must have been getting set to look in your rear vision mirror going the other way!
  15. Thunda, I am not sure February would be a good idea, very hot that time of the year in the areas you wish to go. Wayne.
  16. And I thought you were adding your bit after reading mine...
  17. While in North Qld on Holiday My wife and I arrange to meet up with Franco and his wife. Franco took me up in his drifter to see the local sights. What a stunning landscape he has to fly in, Beaches, cane Fields, rivers & mountains all within a few miles of his home strip. It was nice to see green again after the tans and browns, the colours of drought and frost damage around my home field on the Darling downs. Had a great day Frank, thanks for the hospital
  18. Yes, Wow stunning scenery, thanks for sharing. Wayne
  19. Anyone know any L2's or L4's in the Gladstone region that could do a condition inspection. Raa listings seem to show Rocky as the nearest but I know that is not a full list as our club his L2's that are not on the list. Wayne

    Drifter For Sale.

    Always thought the Citroen Pallas looked like an upside down boat on wheels. When I had a drive of my mates car I almost jumped the footpath on a left turn, the power steering was that light. Wayne
