Flying in the Rain

Well, I flew one flight in the rain this morning. I have been wanting to test the new landing gear I put on my Stearman all week. I added shock absorbing struts to the main gear which turned into a major project. The weather did not look real good, but I decided to go make the one flight regardless. I got there just after our friends and fellow flyer's Leonard and Audrey, so I did not have to open the gate. They had a new radio that needed a test flight. We were both successful and happy with our flights.

The field had just been mowed and the wet clippings really stuck to my plane. I spent more time cleaning it than I flew. The wind was cold, it was wet so we called it a day and headed home.

I spent the rest of the day putting a night stand together for Marie, sorting some of her stuff and messing with my planes. I was going to go online out in the shop and I think the video card died in that computer as both monitors have a blank screen after it boots up. That may wait for a while as I have plenty of other projects going.
Hope you stayed dry today!
