Roasting marshmallows at a neighbour’s last night, someone said, “look at that plane overhead with red and green lights: they do that just for Christmas.” I let it go 🙂🎄
Ouch, the CVM contacts the fence, doesn’t it? The tail came down due to snow. That could be a damage.
Wintery conditions around here today, so not much flying… but hey, wait a minute, all ramp based Cessnas are a in the rotation phase, standing still as they are…
Amazing stuff really

You mean that’s why the call the company BuRP Rotax? ;)
@Steve6443 I found the trick to quick burping is to turn the prop really slowly, if you turn it quickly then it takes much longer to burp.
All this should not prevent us from giving our airplane a hug :D
Thinking of it, giving her a kiss on the spinner in the morning and before leaving the hangar for the night should be a part of every SOP :D :D
Thanks Lionel, good trick – I’ll start doing it. (on top of giving “Emmie” a kiss on the spinner!)
Yup, I do the same.
Thanks Lionel, good idea. I’ll start doing this.

my SOP, picked up from the local aeroclub is to always leave the beacon switch on
Exactly the same with me, and saved my a** more than once 
Another benefit is of course that you won’t start the engine without an active beacon.
