Gents,
I flew my 601 HDS over the hills to the Salton Sea today. It is a salt water lake south of Palm Springs that is below sea level. I did a run just offshore at 0 feet MSL for a airspeed check. The altimeter setting for the area was 30.06, and my ambient pressure showed 30.12 while flying at -90 feet. The nerd side of me thought it would be cool to fly under sea level...
The Corvair is running strong - with a small oil leak that I will fix if the weather ever gets bad... I can't justify removing the cowling while we are in the low 70's and SKC...
The Hobbs hit 37 hours today. Not too shabby for 2 weeks of being unemployed! I am going to need another logbook if I don't find a job soon!
I should get my VG's next week, so I can chime in on the horrible VG debate. I used green scotch bright pads too, so I'll write a long post on that as well...
Happy Holidays,
Brandon
