Paul and all,
Just back from that awful weather, in Florida. Temps in the upper 70's
to lower 80's. Fog burned off by 8am and sunny days. I tell you, it
was hell! Hell, I say!
Kidding, of course. Sorry you're experiencing such unpleasant weather,
my friend. Better days are ahead, though. I know you'll have PJ back
in the air in no time.
Short flight report: Baby Blue underwent a cable change at last oil
change. Yep, I bit the bullet and changed out the throttle cables to
solids. Kept the original housings and slipped in the McMaster-Karr
piano wire. While I was at it, I changed both throttle springs. After
syncing the carbs, the results were that Baby Blue has never run so
smoothly, when going through different power settings. Used to get
vibrations at different settings, but, no more. And that annoying "out
of sync" rough running is gone... Over all, she performed like the
champion she is for the 5 hour flight, each way. Cruise hovered around
132 kts and, with the luck of a good tailwind saw 145 to 152 over the
ground at times. Did I ever mention that I really love this little
bird? :) Oh, and golf, Disney World and the three gun match were all
superb...!
