I still haven't got to flight test my mixture control. It usually takes me at least twice as long as I anticipate it should take. I built a bracket, and arm...twice. Also, In preparation of my trek to Brodhead, I installed theCHT / EGT, painted the exhaust, improved the carb heat muff, re-secured a lot of cables & wires under the cowl - using the double Adel Clamp method, re-secured wiring in the instrument panel, installed a few more cockpit amenities,changed the front windshield, building hard points for the Pig Bombs, plus quite a bit of routine maintenance. I'm off work tomorrow, so I can finish upthe loose ends, but everything is pretty much buttoned up. Well...I'll just do this, or do that before I take 'er back up. It just goes on and on !! I'm going to 'Stretch 'er Legs' at some higher altitudes, on this cross country, as opposed to how I did a lot of the trip the past two summers...airport hopping about every hour or two. I'll keep a close eye on fuelburn, if I'm not shivering too much up there !! I'm planning on Wednesday morning departure, with the first fuel stop at Amelia Earhart field in Atchenson KS - about175 mile leg. Then to either Kirksville Regional, or Northwest Regional (nearMaryville Missouri. On to Centerville Iowa to find out about Antique Field, near Ottumwa Iowa. I hope to pitch the tent at Antique Field, Wednesday night. Probably one fuel stop at Maquoeta Iowa, and on in to Brodhead on Thursday. I'll be using the 'Corky Sponsored Flight Following' again this year !! Thanks Corky !! Mike,Do you get to Brodhead with one fuel stop ?Jack,What is your flight plan ?Anyone else with a flight plan ?Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 21:33:20 -0500
