Sorting out a new propellor after nose gear bungee failure!
Contracts on the new plane! It looks lovely!
Worth noting that the BR23 has a strict operating limitation of max 35 degrees C at sea level.
Whoaaa!
With these extreme temps here, the only option is to sneak out of bed before sunrise, trying not to wake your better half. Just after sunrise, temp on the ground was 25 C, and at 1500 ft 33 C.. For my local bimbling I use a 50% power setting, which in this case enabled me to keep the oil temp at 103 C
She looks wonderful, congrats! Show her to us on the LECD fly-in please!
The sissy wheel is at the right end of the airframe, she sure has not been built outta dodgy laser cut parts, she’s good lookin‘, and the callsign is a blast, welcome to the club
Great looking and I’m sure lovely lovely flying
Congratulations!
I collected my new plane… Thanks to Dan for giving me the RV bug.
Now I need to sell my other one (the yellow one in the background).
Nothing so exotic: went for a local flight to try a few holds on a VOR for the first time. There was quite a bit of wind and the first two weren’t great, but after that I think it went well.
