Ours was nowhere near that flash mate!!! The only pics I have are on my dads farm on the Sunshine Coast, I'll see if he can scan them and email them so that I can post them here. Thanks Chocko

Have a look at these Jordy, great crosswind landings!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!

Hi Farri, Living in Cairns and want to get beck into flying drifters mate, Do you know anyone that still has these or any 3 axis training near Cairns? thanks mate, Chocko

G'day Boleropilot, Sorry to hear about the not so great first solo, I hope the nerves are settled, and you get up quick, dust yourself off and have a better experience next time. I remember trying to get the tail off the deck when I first started and being a bit too strong for my instructor. Luckily he cut the power and we ended up on the side of the strip with him passing a few in my general direction!!!!! Hope this weekend is better for you mate, Chocko

G'day all, Just joined the forum (obviously) and am looking forward to being a fairly active member. I've always loved flying and cut my teeth on Drifters and a 1936 Aeronca at Rainbow beach. I've since flown a bit of weight shift but am not really passionate about it. At the moment I'm working as a fleet manager for a small tour company in Cairns, and we just won the local award for tour and transport operator, and made finalist in the state awards!!! Good friends of mine own a reasonably large air charter company in Cairns and have offered me a job as operations manager, and I'm keen to have a go, but the mortgage is large and the salary is small. Anyway, it has sparked my passion for aircraft again and would love to be involved in the industry.... So here I am:big_grin:
