Subject: Europa-List: Re: first flight of G-UMPY Sywell
Well, did the test flights, got the permit (took a couple of months), and
have just about completed the coaching (LAA scheme) with Andy Draper at
Sywell and met the insurance requirements (5hrs, 15 landings).
Not too much trouble so far with landings. All on grass, different
conditions/runways.
Few small snags to sort:
I find the gear leaver hard to pull off the notch - might need a different
handle
I need a rubber slit on it to stop water/air coming up the slot,
Original tyre is rubbing slightly (might try some hellerman oil on it before
each flight) I guess I'll have to change to the thinner one soon.
Witter ASI tends to ring on rotation.
Andy has been great.
Otherwise all good and very pleasing.
