Went to the airport late this morning to replace my air filter with a new Brackett filter. That's what was in there anyway. What a difference. I had full fuel and it was at least 90 degrees out. I started my roll after spinning up and she literally was up off the runway before I realized it. I noticed on the last few flights that the performance seemed to be deteriorating. She seemed sluggish and wasn't showing much top-end, even indicated. I was cruising easily again at 90 m.p.h. today. Besides that expensive gas ($4.05 at Goose Creek now), they need plenty of free air.
Here are some photos of before take-off, climb-out, a shot out of the right and left door windows, a panel pic (notice how I unconsciously pull back on the stick and reduce speed when I'm doing something like taking a photo?), a pic of the red zit on my nose (66 years old and I still get zits!), and after landing. 1st 4 are here and the last 3 are in the next post.
