Flying and Waxing

On Wednesday Vera had bible study, the forecast looked pretty good so I went flying.  It was pretty foggy when I first got there but it was a beautiful afternoon once it lifted.  I made lots of touch and goes with the Kitfox and Steve's Plane.  I got some higher voltage batteries for Steve's plane as it does not have quite enough power for some of the aerobatics I want to do.  Now I need to put the ammeter on it and make sure the speed control will handle the extra power.

I flew the B-36 for probably the last time this year, it is going in the shop for some maintenance and repainting.  Leonard had his Vortex out today and we got to fly together.  It was sure fun seeing them side by side, mine is just a little faster but not much, I would guess Leonard's is right at one hundred miles an hour.

I got this ten dollar fifteen inch prop in the mail this week, I was amazed at the size of the box and the amount of packing inside.  Thursday I spent most of the day waxing on the motor home and got of the right side finished except for a couple of storage compartment doors.

Friday I was determined to finish the job before the rain that was forecast started.

I am putting on the final coat of wax on the last storage compartment door in both pictures but Vera asked me to look up for the second one.  After letting it dry and polishing it we gathered up the tools and put everything away.  It was about an hour or so later that it started raining.  That turned into a big job, I started the first step on August first.  I shouldn't have to do the three step process again, I will just use a good cleaner/wax each time.  Today I woke up with a really sore left wrist from all the wiping and polishing.  After putting heat on it for awhile it started feeling better and I did some hunting for a box of foam sheets that is lost in the shop.  I didn't find it but I did throw away a bunch of things I would never use.  I had a nice long visit with Barry on the phone today, later I went over to Dianne's to deliver Jordon's school photo and had a nice visit with her and Steve.  There were lots of rain showers today, my rain gauge shows 1.14 inches as I am typing this.
