A Shop Day

After our walk in the rain shower this morning, I finished up my battery installation on the Super Cub.  That battery is about twice the size of the one I had been using.  After putting the cowl and propeller back on, I took it outside and checked the motor current draw.  With the 13 X 10 propeller I had been using it was over 60 Amps.  The motor is only rated for 60 Amps for 60 seconds or 50 Amps continuously, so I changed to a 13 X 8 propeller and is 59 Amps at full throttle.  I can get by with that until I get the next size smaller, I just will not use full throttle much.  I also got the T-28 repaired, one wheel fell off when I made a touch and go Wednesday, damaging the gear door.  Turbo Bee got a little attention also, I got the lower bearing installed on the rudder.  It is now ready to cover.  I made a trip over to Steve and Dianne's this afternoon, Ava and Harper were painting.  That was fun to watch, I am not sure how Harper got paint on her elbow but it looked cute.  I spent the evening watching TV, working on my blogs and taking a nap.
