Good morning Jim,
Well, this is the time of year I pull Eddie off the airport for her annual
inspection.
I figure it gives her a break from the heat and the monsoon storms.
So far, all looks good. Just some typical maintenance issues, adding some ideas
I got from Forum (adding spacers to stand off the D window for better air
circulation),
and cleaning all the things that get dirty.
I did find two small delam bubbles, one trailing edge mid wing and the other on
a leading edge of a stabilator. So Ill see about fixing these.
Other than that, just keeping busy.
One funny note: the wife and I just got back from a few weeks on a travel
trailer
trip (cant say RV trip because some might think Ive traded planes) and during
the trip I got the chance stop at the famous Leadville airport we all grew
to love during our flight training. Pattern altitude of 11,000 feet is
inspiring.
And it was almost 90F that day. Talk about density altitude! The wife was
getting a headache from the thin air so I can just imagine an engine trying to
suck in enough air and the wings clawing for the sky on takeoff.
