Bekah and I took our first airplane trip together (sort of)
this weekend. She actually flew with
friends since I am not up to my 40 hours yet, but we flew in loose formation,
so were able to see each other from the air.
In fact they snapped a pretty good pic of me from the air that you can
see here. It sure was fun to fly over to
Pt. Townsend for breakfast and have Bekah there on a perfect weather day.
I have been flying off my 40 hours as quick as I can. At this point I am up to 30.3 which means
less than 10 hours and Bekah can fly with me.
Weather isn't supposed to be great this week so I decided to get into my
gear fairings. Turns out they are just
like everything else and harder than I thought.
After about 5 hours I have them mounted, but still much more to do with
them. Tricky part is you have to jack
the plane up so that there is no weight on the gear. Then somehow make them straight with the center line of the plan. There is no real
spot to measure from on the fairing, so it’s just kind of do the best you can
with plumb lines down the fuse. I
drilled a few extra holes in the fairings as I zeroed in on the best spot to
fix them to their supports, so I will need to patch those as I continue to fit
and drill them.
