So, I did my first 'officially winter' flight today. The airplane was
looking rather abandoned during the last few months. Today was a nice warm
day, and so I got it all warmed up and flew for 20 minutes. I still don't
have a cabin heater so I was happy to find that at +3C in partial sunshine
it was nice and warm under the big 'solar heater'.

All was working well EXCEPT my DG adjustment knob will not engage whatever
it's suppose to engage in order to set the heading. This is the non-TSO
'Chinese?' version (Wultrade?) from the ACS cataloug. I'll go pull it out
tomorrow and see if I can fix it. Does anyone know what's involved and
what's inside one of these? Does anyone know of any repair guides/photos
that might be available on the internet?

If I was building today, I'd sure consider leaving out all the air-driven
gyro system stuff and going with an electronic solution.
