9:30 AM Nov. 7th - HELP GET OUR FLEET TUNED UP!

Fellow members ,

Ed our Maintenance Chief has appointed me scribe for the year end project of getting our fleet "up to snuff " as they say . So here's the scoop : Plans are to do work each Saturday in November and December beginning November 7 . Start time will be 9:30am. and with luck we'll get most of the work done before the real cold weather sets in. Nyal has insisted that we continue the tradition of that well earned lunch together at Rachels promptly when he gets hungry around noon time.

We will move a couple of the aircraft into the middle hangar and begin work on one of the the Blaniks first . Day one will begin with compiling lists of " to do " items and if you already have some items to suggest please send a note to Ed or me to include them on our hit lists. We will keep one Blanik in flying condition as long as we can to allow any possibility of flying if weather permits in Nov / Dec. This can always be done in the afternoon following work and lunch ! Obviously the More the Merrier .

In past years these year end maintenance projects have been very instructive for some members, they keep the Club Spirit alive and well and for me have always been a lot of fun . So come on out and join us as many days as you can manage as the flying season changes to "Maintenance Time ".

See you November 7,

Ron (ZA)
