A nice afternoon with Bob

We were in town early so Vera could get the things she needed for potato soup made with the leftover prime rib.  It turned out great and we had it for lunch.  Then Vera went out and took pictures of the flowers.  My friend Bob came down so we could make a trade for an electric motor for his plane.  The one I had needed a set of spacers to fit into the cowl, then we tested it and changed props to get the current draw into a safe range.  We had a good time talking while this was going on, Bob told me about a flight he had taken with a friend.  They started out flying over Mt St Helens, then kept climbing and flew over Mt Adams, then still climbing they headed for Mt Rainier.  Bob said when they got there they were over 16,000 feet, asking each other if they were feeling OK and wondering what Hypoxia felt like!

Of course, I had to show him how my gear doors worked before he left for home.  I went in to visit with Vera and had my Arby's sandwich from last night for dinner, I had been too full last night to eat it after doing my blog.  Then I went back out and started working on the gear doors for the right wing.  It is going much faster since I have a pattern.  I got the servo installed and hooked up before coming in for the night.
