Hi again if your willing to travel there are plenty around l havent spent any more than seven thousand on one yet l got a fisher mk1 a couple of years ago for $2000 i gave it a full rebuild spent six on parts great machine .got one from Tassie payed $7000 spent $3500 its like brand new l have keeped this one flys to good to sell love it . When time comes ask questions there are heaps of drifter owns on here to give you good advice on buliding they are one of the most straight forward easy aircraft to rebuild . cheers Geoff.

Hi Country Kid you should be able to pick one up for around six to eight thousand but will need full rebuild .which are great aircraft for that you can buy all the bits for Wayne Fisher they are basic rag and tube machine great for beginners try for Maxi Air wb we have six that fly together down here l have rebuilt three now my mate has four in his shed that are in progress for rebuilds l will see if any are for sale. cheers Geoff.

Hi Bull is it a Mk1 or Mk2 the differance is the lenght of the boom ,the Mk2 is better as theMk1 was very pitch sensitive because of the full flying elevator so they lengthened the boom which solved the problem. l have built two Tyros l have had vw engine and 447 rotax and 503 rotax l settled with the 503 the 582 will be a bit heavy you will have set up centre of gravity and move the engine back towards the pod you might not have enough clearance it will be to close to the pod .l have some data on the Tyro if you need it. l have never seen a Tyro with a nose wheel . cheers Geoff. Ps do you have an side pics looking at your photo it dosent look like a genuine Tyro.
-
Yes l have done all my research all of my ADs have been done my flys great and safe,l thought you had found an other problem that you had discovered that we weren"t aware of. l have a Drifter which l must admit l fly a lot more handles better than the fox in my situation .
