G'day

Well down here in Oz it is 36 degrees Celsius (just under 100F) today and will be 42 tomorrow (just over 100). So today I went out to do some test flying. A new member has built a Kadet Senior with Saito 62 for noise. Sadly he managed to get the nose wheel hooked up backwards and that needs to be fixed before we fly. The engine had some more running and is now ready for the air set a little rich.

I flew my Hanger 9 Piper Pawnee with its OS 81 Alpha on a 14 x 6 prop. It took off on about half power and flies really nicely. I did not use full power at all during the flight. I think I will be flying it more often.

Cheers

Mike in Oz (where it is warm.)
