Thursday Flying Session
Forgot the camera again!
But... I am going to add the camera to my pre-trip-to-the-field checklist from now on. The checklist started as: plane, fuel, battery, tools. Then it became: plane, fuel, battery, tools, stooge, spare props. Now it is: plane, fuel, battery, tools, stooge , spare props, and camera.
That should work...
Took my Ukey 35 out to the field on Thursday. It has been about ten months since it was last flown. The old (but only just broken-in) Enya 35 BB (square venturi) fired right up. I did not touch the needle valve setting. And it ran with a nice 2-4 break.
A couple of flights to limber up the engine and refamiliarize myself with the plane. And then the maneuvers began. Not much wind. Good session.
Inside and outside loops, wingovers, inverted flight, horizontal, vertical, and overhead eights, good gliding, smooth landings. A real satisfying day at the flying field.
