Geluk met die pampiere!!!!

More oom Boet

Daai foto van die nattigheid lyk baie mooi. Hoeveel reen het julle toe gehad? My pa-hulle kuier, so hulle mis al die reën op die plaas.

Die grys verf vir die paneel wat oom help verf het, was toe nie die regte kleur grys verf nie kom ek agter toe ek hom pas by die res van die vliegtuig. So ek is besig om hom oor te doen. My verf skills is besig om mooi aan te kom, maar is nog nie op standaard nie. Dink ek het te veel stof waar ek werk, maar ek gaan hom binnekort wen as dit net bietjie droeer is hier in die Kaap .

Die bushbaby self lyk ook mooi, is nuuskierig om te hoor hoe die spoed, klim en payload weight performance is tussen ou en nuwe enjin?

Hoe gaan dit met daai blik vliegtuig met die ingeboude klapper wat daar agter die bushbaby staan?

Die errouplyn met die "klapper in sy neus" word vandag klaargemaak. (Hopelik!!) Wil hom opstart en seker maak allse werk reg. Dis vriesend koud hier, en die wind kom hardloop hier uit die Oostekant, bo-oor die wit gerypte vlaktes......... LEEU-koud. Ek het ook n stof probleem hier. Dis maar die wereld se moeilikheid. Stof. Niks soos n bietjie oefening om n man se skills bietjie op te skerp nie!
Foudie van die enjin, soos hy nou lyk.

So this morning I was up and about at 5. The weather played the game. NO wind. A perfect day for test flying. I am always nervous, when I know there is some testing to be done. Sleep stayed away for a long time last night. There was a lot of frost on the grass this morning, very cold. This 912 starts easy. after some warm up, I f`walled the throttle and soon she was up and away. What a feeling! The engine is very smooth. I have not flown at all for more than 2 months. Up there I am in my element. No snags. So now I am whole again! I have an AEROPLANE that can FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Softness tried to take some pics a bit later. (I went flying again!) Did I mention that she is not a great photgrapher?????.

Test hours flown off. Now for the ATF application! No glitches. She is now VERY smooth, somewhat faster, lighter on fuel, and still an Awesome STOL performer.
