Saturday and Sunday

Saturday

I spent the day doing some maintenance on my Voodoo Mustang, it started by me changing to a different prop so it would go faster.  I discovered a problem with the fuel tank.  I had to pull the engine to get the tank out to repair it, then I found the engine mounts needed a little work.  It wasn't too long before my thoughts of flying it Sunday were shot down.  I did some cleanup in the computer room after installing the printer.  I found an extra toner cartridge for the old printer during the cleanup, so I put it on the Longview Freecycle.  I had a response from a guy that wanted it in less than an hour.  I got my batteries for flying Sunday all charged up during the evening.  I forgot one set that was charging, only remembering them when I was in bed.  I had to get dressed and run out to the motor home and disconnect them.  They probably would have been OK, they were on a fully automatic charger, but I did not want to take a chance.

Sunday

I headed to Toledo about 9 this morning for some flying, it was supposed to get up to about 55 degrees, but I don't think it made it!  The sun played Peak a Boo with us all day.

My new Stinson flew great, I put three flights on it today and all it needed was a couple of clicks of trim.  I also flew my Sukhoi SU-29, F-15, F-4 and Lancair.  Counting me, there were 9 flyers out there today and my propane heater was a popular spot again.  It has been a life saver this year.
