Hi all,

 

To keep cost down I'm trying to find a helmet that I can wear over the top of my headset ( Lightspeed Sierra). It needs to have a visor that will not only protect the face but hopefully cover the mic to stop the constant wind noise.

 

Any ideas on Brands/ models etc..... It's for use in a Drifter.

 

Thanks

 

 

Hi All,

 

The Yellow Hornet went for a run yesterday. From Childers over to Pacific Haven for a short visit. Then onwards to Burrum Heads and up the Beach to Woodgate. Nice morning. This is a great way to spot some new fishing spots!

Photos of 1810 at Boonah in 2007. Got the digital photos somewhere, these are photos of printed photos hence the poor image quality. I had a lot of fun flying her.

Thanks for posting the photo's, it good to hear and see a bit about the aircraft's history. By the way what type/brand of helmet are you wearing in your member picture? It looks like a good visor that would stop all the microphone wind noise when flying.

 

 

Yep, she would have trained a heap of pilots over the last 5 years. I first came across the aircraft in Gympie a few years ago when I did my endorsement on her.

 

She went from Gympie to Caboolture about a year ago, and is now in Childers and will hopefully continue to serve well!

 

 

Hi All,

 

Drifter 55-1810 is now happily gracing the skies around Childers. Bill from Caboolture and Geoff (regular forum member) were good enough to ferry the aircraft up from Caboolture a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have enjoyed 4 hrs of buzzing around the beaches of the Fraser coast and scenic farmland surrounding Childers. How good is a late afternoon flight down the coast watching the sun set. Here's a couple of photos!

Scary thing is, they are not getting any better. I cross hire A J230 that was purchased 4 months ago, went through the so called " new system of registration" when the change of ownership was done. Rego recently came due, the owner submitted his renewal form only to be told their are no photo's on file for the aircraft. Are the registration drama's really being solved? Or is it the same old problems of poor record keeping over & over & over again.

 

 

Yeah thanks Jas. I managed to find a GT500 at childers and went up for a look. Looks like it would be great to fly from the front. Viz and space a little limited in the rear. Overall though looked nice. One with a 912 would make a nice low performance tourer. There doesn't seem to be any on the second hand market lately.

 

 

Gympie Recreational Flying Company does LP/Tw/2stroke on their drifters. Recently did my endorsement with them. Good bunch of instructors. Regards Brett

 

 

Investigating purchasing a GT500/Bantam and would like to touch base with any owners in SE QLD. It would be great to hear some opinions and possibly inspect any local aircraft. Thanks email is [email protected]
