BJFly Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 very nice video. was it a gopro? music was great too Hi Shafs, Yep, I was using a Go Pro. Still getting the hang of it. I noticed that some of the video's I put on you-tube don't play on I-pad/I-phone but work on computers. I'll eventually work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shafs64 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 ok. I watch it in 720hd very clear very nice POV. And very close base and finals. but I suppose you can do that with a drifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 BJFly My strip is 16.4 nm miles at a bearing of 272 deg from Childers. You wont miss the new hangar on the property. 2 strips but only 350mtrs long each and powerlines at the southern approaches. There are long white runway markers at the strips edges. I will be up there on the fri and saturday at the end of this month if you want to drop in for a cuppa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get up for a fly in the next week I'll do a fly over and have a look. I'll take any excuse for a flight. Happy flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The powerlines are marked with red balls at the southern end. There is also a windsock between the two runways. The best approach is from the north What I call the main strip is 170/350 the cross strip is 135/315 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 The Yellow Hornet took a late afternoon flight around Childers yesterday. Finished off with a few circuits, nice time of day for a flight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to take some photo's but very blurry. Will try to take some good aerial shots for you next time I fly over! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thats good you found it ok the cattle do knock the PVC tubes around a bit I have to reset them occasionaly. I have to get some stakes and drill some holes in the ends and stake them in. I am starting to mow at the outer sides now to crib a bit more strip size but will eventually get a grader in to do some better leveling as the ground was ripped many years ago but never leveled. I had the dozer do the current strips when we had it there to put in the dam you see to the right of the strips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi All, Looks like I'm putting the Yellow Hornet on the market. If your looking for a nice SB Drifter put this on your list. All the details are on the classifieds thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJFly Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi All, Downloaded the Sport Pilot Mag today to discover a double page photo of the Yellow Hornet. "Beautiful" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi all, Here's a video of the Yellow Hornet doing a couple of circuits earlier today. She is still up for sale if anyone is chasing a very nice SB Drifter. I would also be happy to consider a 1/2 share arrangement. I was told to apologise for my taste in music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmick Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great song, Great Video. Optional L/H and R/H circuits ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Great song, Great Video. Optional L/H and R/H circuits ? Hi Mike, Glad you liked it. Well picked up on the Ccts, on occasion when nobody else in the area I have a crack at left&right Ccts and throw in some practice emergencies from both sides.

BJFly Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi All, Here's a video of a Yellow Hornet flight along the Isis River then the Burrum River and out into Hervey Bay. Quite often see Dugong's feeding around the mouth of the Burrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 How can you contemplate selling the Drifter when it looks like you have so much fun with it? I think you need to keep it AND buy something enclosed to fly with the wife. Remember there is nothing wrong with being a two plane family, I am sure you know lots of families with two cars. Planes are no different. Must find time find time to pop over & say Hi one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mick, Yeh, once your settled in we'll have to link up at the field for a cuppa. Not sure I could get the idea of owning a squadron of aircraft pass the misses. Your right about enjoying the flying, there's not much else like it. Catch you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJFly Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi All, Dragged the Yellow Hornet out of the hangar early today for my favourite local flight. Childers-Pacific Haven(quick brew with Bruce). Then Burrum Heads-Woodgate-Childers. All before 8.30am, good way to start the day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 All fun planes. Drifters are special... CASA are reluctant to grant approval for other than standard (Which is left hand) circuits. Years back any reason was OK, but not now. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 A little 2.6 hr flight around the local patch, this morning...Up over the Gillies Range to the Atherton Tablelands, on to Dimbulah, then back home to Deeral. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You sure get to use your plane, Frank. By contrast I sold my Fisher today. Have to alter my details in the interests of accuracy. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
