Looks like the wind will only give you a gap next week. But maybe it will bring some rain. :wink: we need it

6 hr's of flying and counting.......The weather was good the last 3 days. First time in weeks.....Some small niggles to sort our still. We had an issue with not getting full rpm on take off. I found that the gearbox was still the 2,27:1 so we removed 1 blade and made it a 2 blade. I am now getting 5780 on take off. She is not fast with that prop and gearbox combo but cruises nicely at 100mph.
