Some local flying...

Friday night after work, I went bombing around.. buzzed my mom's house and my Aunt Linda's place. Farmers are still burning fields around here making for very hazy flying.

I'm working with Will James on a new induction system connection to the carb, so I pulled off the cowl and took some measurements/pictures. I noticed a small oil drip at the oil screen fitting, so I tightened that up. I also fixed a small seepage at the fuel intake on the carb.

Saturday morning was nice out, Sandi was at her family's, so I headed to the airport and took our FBO Manager Tony LeMaster out for a spin. Tony has flown just about every airplane.. lots of Ford Trimotor time and all sorts of other planes. He really got a kick out of the RV... said he'd never flown a plane so responsive! We were flying over the city and he had a hard time keeping up with the plane because it was so fast. Throttled back to 2000rpm so head could show me some sites.

Was supposed to give some family members some rides but the wind was supposed to be picking up, so didn't fly on Sunday.
