Vera had an appointment this morning, so we ran to town and did several errands before it. My new Techie Toy (that is what Vera is calling it) came in the mail, so I was anxious to get home and play with it. It is a sensor station for my planes that sends back information about speed, altitude, temperature, rpm, amps and volts while I am flying. I spent the afternoon installing it in the Cub.

It was really foggy this morning, so I started later than normal, after picking up sub sandwiches, taking pictures on the way, we finally got to the field about 11.
It was still foggy there, but I wanted to see how the GPS unit worked, so I flew about 11:30 in the fog. You can see the water on the plane from the fog, at 100 feet altitude the plane was getting hard to see. I found out it's top speed is 44 mph and it lands at 14 mph. I had a great time playing with it and will hook up more of the sensors for my next flying session. It turned into a lovely day, 66 degrees, lots of sun and a few good friends to visit with.
