I finally took the time to patch the slow leak on the port sideinner tube (thanks to John Kuhfahl for the tire patch kit!) andtook Scout up yesterday. It's been windy here too, but it's goodpractice to fly when it's less than ideal and it turned out to befun to go up with some gusty x-winds. Flew over to fuel up at aneighboring field and landed into what must have been a 15-18 MPHquartering headwind, landed so short that I ended up taxiing a quarterof the length of the runway just to get to the turnoff. It wasgreat to be up flying, especially solo with a brisk wind so theairplane really climbs out.The seatbelts and shoulder harness in the front cockpit of my airplaneare quickly and easily removable and I wouldn't have it any otherway. They just get in the way of your feet when there is nobodyup front.And a comment on AmSafety's post: that would be tiny BUBBLES, nottiny BIBLES, that Don Ho sang about. However, Bibles of any shapeand size are a good thing too ;o) Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: YouTube video - working on the firewall...
