Yip. !!!! Took her back to Rhino park this morning, with the help of Springs taxi services. vhpy Thanx Bonzai Bell and Big Man. (^^) Enige verskoning vir die twee om te vlieg. :mrgreen:

Glen did a good job. 4 new pistons, 1 new cylinder, lapped the valves, which was leaking badly, and a few nigly thingys one tends to overlook. Also the prop and rotor were balanced. Interesting how one tends to get used to stuff going bad, slowly. The story of a frog in cold water on a stove. :wink: CFW is happy again. 8)

I was lucky with spares availability, and Glen is no slouch. Big thanx to him :wink:

My soul called, and it wants it's life back. Only one thing to do. Let's fly.

Too bad you can't go flying this weekend......
The person who says it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.
