Spot on Pat,SB582 55 0746 empty weight 251 kg mtow 450.Also reluctantly thinking of selling due to usual reasons,840 hrs 3 owners,L2 maintained,$23k.Cheers,Zyg.
Absolutely,been thinking of goin' over to American river for months.Soon as this weather settles down we'll do it.(must give the machine it's 100 hourly some time this week)
Timbo,I've just done a gbox oil change on my 582 & the rotax manual says to use either SAE 140 EP or 85W 140 EP.I used the Castrol 85W as it's been in this engine for 780 hrs & wear seems minimal.Cheer's,Zyg.
Thank's Maj,tried that,but all they had was a new marine plastic cap & flange which would mean removing the old alloy flange,& that's glassed into the tank ,so I'll probably get one machined up as Mr Drifter USA suggests.Cheer's.
Yeah mate,I fly over to Goolwa quite often.I actually hangered it there from Oct to Feb in one of Geoff's hangers & spent many hours tooling over Hindmarsh Island & Milang,beautiful.
G'day everyone,I'm new to this forum caper but it seems like a great way to gain info & support from other Drifter owners.That said,does anyone know where I might get hold of a fuel cap? I seem to of um lost one! Cheers Steve.
Just joined the website so thought I'd introduce myself.I've owned an SB 582 Drifter since Oct last year & have flown around 75 hrs in it.Loving every minute up there! Looking forward to chatting with other drifter pilots about these marvellous machines.
