Got up this morning to get down to Herbert Smart (Steve's Place) early. I showed around 0900 hours and Steve was in the air and Scott was Crow hopping down the runway.
That Scott is a Hellava fellow. When I got parked, I looked over and my Gyro was already pulled out and in the seat was one of Scotts custom made adjustable trim mechanisms ready to install.
As we were installing we noticed the large amount of traffic around the airport and planes flying everywhere. Must have something to do with the airshow this weekend. After installation, Steve took "DaScrew-Driver up and got her all trimmed out. After landing we noticed the high engine temps again.
Scott volunteered to get with Rick Ambercrombie and see how he can fashion some cowling to better direct the air over my cylinders. What a guy! ;D And he is also making up a mount for my GPSIII.
I got a couple of Aircommand tanks from Heron and I'm gonna donate those to Scott so he can keep his boat tank in the boat.
By the time all was said and done I strapped up to go fly and as I was rolling to the appropriate taxiway (Don't ask), Steve put the brakes on it and called me back. The winds just picked up way too strong for any of us. We rolled all of the gyros back in the barn and I was home by 2:00pm.
Better flying next week. The airshow we will keep us grounded through the weekend.
