Starting thread for this week.



We are working on our annual Condition Inspection.  No major problems.  We did find the Mod 51 brace was cracked so have replaced it.  Also relocating fuel flow transducers to eliminate hose bends near them and improve accuracy.

Finished my Condition Inspection which included installing the fairings on the flap hinges. I was able to squeeze a short flight yesterday evening.



Now waiting for this wind to die down a little. Gusting 24 knots today.

First good weather in months; got up in the sky for an hour and a half without the doors flying off... 👍 ... 80kt 3700rpm, gallon of fossil tree.

Yesterday fellow Europa enthusiast Dave Conrad and his wife came to visit and we had a chance to take my monowheel up for a ride (and a very nice ride it was since the wind finally subsided a little). I really enjoyed his visit and I hope he did as well. 



Being able to sit and chat about the Europa was awesome but being able to give someone building an Europa Monowheel a chance to go up and fly in one is something that I really enjoyed doing and I wish I had a chance to do when I was building mine. Hopefully that will give him the encouragement to finally get his done 



After the nice flight, we went out with the wives and had a nice lunch at our airport restaurant where the airplane chat continued of course

Went to the field to fly today... ended up pulling the speed kit covers off and giving everything a spanner check and a visual... measured up the flap hinges and added that data to the cad model... ran some more cfd tests and its true, the air really does flow from under the wing over the flap when deployed!!  drank tea, ate a cookie and chatted about radio wave technology... watched every europa youtube post...
