Don't forget, Inglewood is on this weekend 6th, 7th, June. I will be in the Hi-lux and will have spare jerry cans if anyone needs a fuel run, just ask for Batman. Merc

Just installed new skins on my Drifter. Really professional job by Alan and Jan from Wingtech. Great people highly recommended.

You need one of these, using your fingers on the knurled part , hold the serrated end on the rivet head , then drill through centre of tool with a bit slightly smaller than rivet . dont know the brand name but got it from america a few years ago. works a treat. cheers , tony

We have a strip 35 miles south of Narrabri. I will pm you my contact details. Merc

Poor Yuri Gagarin forgotten already.

dazza you may be thinking of the RAAF mirage A3-70 from 3 squadron . on 30 oct 1968 it was shot down by a ricochet from its own 30mm cannon. i was on crash crew that day so went to the crash site, amazing , the whole aircraft buried in a creator of ash with cannon shells exploding every so often.

Help! Anyone want two drifters. They come complete with pilots. The drifters use about 15 litres per hour, the pilots about the same. Make an offer! Please!

roll around a point written by duane cole

or is it ???????

no its a Salmson AD9. i saw it running in the early 60s when it was sold at auction, i purchased a Corben super ace from the same owner. the Corben was built at Narromine in 1938 and also powered by a Salmson , it is on loan to the narromine aviation museum who are restoring it for static display, they have just acquired a Salmson from the USA

still no interface, over 5 weeks now since returned to mendelssohn. merc

hi kiwi, still no word on radio interface (over 4 weeks since returned ) hope i don't have to wait7 week,s like you. merc

i just bought micro aviation headsets and interface from mendelssohns ($1750 ouch!) is it any good? don't know, interface faulty, returned , awaiting outcome.

cloudsuck,i made no mention of the legality or otherwise of the drifter at i-wood. i was referring to the posts stating a thruster was doing aero's. As there was only one thruster at the fly in, that is a slight on the pilot.

Well said JG3. It's a pity people don't check the facts before posting or assuming someone Else's post is correct. I was also at Inglewood and didn't see any aero's by the thruster,the pilot of which is due an apology.

Hope you Boonah boys get good weather this weekend. I'm still in Cairns for a few weeks,might drop into Boonah on way home. How is the new engine going Kiwi?

G-day Kiwi,great to see another drifter driver on board.If you need help with "cloudsuck" let me know,
