Hi Gang:
Got new gears in my gear box.
Despite Arctic weather in the Heart of Dixie this morning, I persevered,
plugged in the Chilli Vest, and flew down to Lucedale, MS.
Ronnie Smith pulled the gearbox, crankshaft gear, swapped out the new gears,
shimmed the gearbox, while I cleaned up the flange faces and got them ready
for a new super duper sealant. In a little more than an hour, I had run up
the engine, checked for leaks, and was headed back to Gantt IAP.
Thought I would be sitting pretty in the sunshine down and back. Wrong!
Was in the shade of the left wing going southwest and right wing heading for
the house.
Flew 380.3 miles in 4.2 hours. Not bad for a big fat ultralight.
