Unless some tempting mission pops up for tomorrow, no flying this WE… but RC this afternoon.
OTOH I had intended replacing my VM1000 engine monitor for some time, the goal being the ability to extract data for trouble or trend analysis. The old VM1000 is now close to 20 years old, and starting to show it’s age as the LCD screen started dying a couple of days ago… hopefully to hold good enough to attend that famous coming EuroGA fly-in 
Since I’m a Garmin man, I had ordered a new EIS/map in the form of a G3X GDU470 touchscreen to complement the rest of my panel, and a big box containing all the necessary hardware is sitting next to me as I write these words. Drawing the new schematics and preparing the installation requires a few hours, the implementation itself will probably take 1-2 weeks at my leisurely pace.
Flying the rally again this morning, to get more confidence and precision…
Started the weekend with some practice ILS approaches at Bournemouth EGHH. Slowly getting the hang of the NDB holds …
yes, no airplane flies without maintenance
I did my BFR in someone else’s Super Cub at Wellesbourne. Really nice aircraft, quite enjoy the Super Cub.
Did an hour in the Super Guépard as the DA40 overheating problem looks like might take some time to fix and a lot of money.
Still every time I fly the SG I find it more and more enjoyable.
Cleaning up my airplane after last week’s storm in Murcia…it seemed to bring all the dust in Sahara with it :(

welcome to the Rallye club!
Was at the club this afternoon and did some paperwork for a plane. Then the Army Cub asked me to take take it for a spin, which I did 
Came back and did some touch and goes, and this small little thunder cloud thing was coming in from the fjord. I suck at taking pictures, especially with my phone from inside the plane, but got a few that’s not too bad. Landed just before it came on top of the airport.
