Beautiful day at the airport and I had work to do. Jacked up the starboard sideand installed a new tire and tube, noticed the brake was a bit draggy on that sideso I disassembled, cleaned, refilled, and bled it. Changed the engine oil, thenwent out to test-fly. Made three of the best landings I've ever made in the airplane.Landing No. 4 stunk, however ;o) Funny how that confidence thing goes to yourhead.Zero wind, I could make nice sweeping approaches with very little effort, rollout right on the numbers with about 50-52 MPH on the nose and no drifting offthe centerline, and hardlyeven notice when the mains touched. The problem with landing no. 4 was that Ilet itget too slow (about 47-48 MPH while still a few feet off the runway).Checked the prop tracking since I had noticed a very tiny vibration afterretorquing the prop bolts a week ago. Sure enough, one blade was 1/16"out from the other. I was surprised that it could make that much of adetectable buzz in the pilot's seat at cruise power.There is nothing Santa could bring me that would be more fun than this airplane!Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
