Re: How to avoid nasty Incidents : Do Your maintenance!!! (-)

Do not have my logbook with me, but Motor was done on 600 hours, wing is 14 years old, and flew some 30h odd after motor was done.

630 hours, but the big thing is the 14 years. Sail stitching starts to break and run.

Basic Flying Rules:

1. Try to stay in the middle of the air :!:

2. Do not go near the edges of it. :idea:

3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground,
buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space.

:twisted: It is much more difficult to fly there.
