Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Gary... Hope it was a great morning... I remember training my granddaughter, she wasn't
doing too bad, but on the 4 or so day out she said Gramps this is fun, but I don't think it's
for me....

Barry, Rob.... Man.... Our Freezing temps looks to be like summer weather compared, but
here in AZ.. It does not take much "low" temps to start seeing/feeling ice

Well it was "Sort of" a good morning... The "Do" did great for the few flts that I did have on
a beautiful morning.. I used a short servo arm, so getting the right throw is tight and I missed
the setting.. it was close but I could not kill the engine and taxi was a bit faster than I like and
I "Hate" having to work on them at the field.. So I thought just moving the throttle arm to the
upper hole would just give me enough, it took a bit since I did not remove the cowl[:@]... and
that did not work.. I was a bit "I-rate" then.. So I pulled the wing and adjusted there, I started
her with the wing off it was a bit better but a bit off still (WoW.... The S-82 sound like a normal
Saito without the wing on,... needless to say my noise was the same, still not sure on the mess)
but for some unknown reason after a bit more adjustment, I stick the wing back on without testing
so... low/kill idle is higher[:@][:@]... I was going to call it a day and fix all at home, but I went
up as is, knowng I had to dead stick it to land... I missed judged the "Fuel out" time, I just pulled
up from a low invert down the runway she started up then the No Sound... Luckily I was able to
right her and land with no problems... It's ready to go now......
Her's a pic of our Rosebud.... Ohh and the New one from the "first" for Daughter #2 on 1/15
