Morning Folks:
Recently developed a slight oil ooze at the base of my #1 cylinder. Made
arrangements with Ronnie Smith, SMLA, while at Sun and Fun this year, to
have it fixed.
Flew down to Lucedale, MS, Monday afternoon. Spent the night in Ronnie's
shop so would be ready to work on the 912ULS first thing Tuesday morning.
Morning ground fog and clouds would have prevented me from departing my air
strip until 1000 or 1100. Discovered an o ring on a cylinder stud was
leaking because it was losing torque. Took about 2 hours from start to
finish. A run up on the ground, then a short test flight, and Miss P'fer
was good to go. We were back home by 1300.
It's about 200 miles one way. Took 2.5 hours each way. Burned 5 gph on the
button at 5,200 rpm and 85 mph IAS. Ground speed was in the mid 90's both
ways at 6,500 and 7,500 feet. Beautiful flying weather. Flew on top of a
broken layer of small fluffy white clouds down and back.
Terrain is very boring. Like flying to Lakeland, FL. Flat land and trees.
Can't wait to head West in June. Despite the wind and weather, the terrain
makes up for it. A beautiful place to fly.
