We'll be watching the weather to see if we can fly on New Years Day. In past years we haven't let the cold stop us, but January sometimes has a lot worse in its bag of tricks than just cold!
Ron Clarke reports:
The club fleet is now all "in annual " with the Grob and Blanik 303BA ready to fly. The PW will be back from Ohio within the next few weeks (thanks George) and the Blanik 809S still needs to have the nose cone re-fitted after the new pitot line was installed and tested today (airspeeds should be 100% accurate now). The two Pawnees are both flyable , but we would prefer to use 87Z until the wet winter conditions are over as 898 has been really well cleaned up and we would like to keep it off the wet conditions if possible.
IF THE CONDITIONS ON NEW YEARS DAY ARE FLYABLE PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO DO A VERY THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT (AND A POSITIVE CONTROL CHECK ON ALL GLIDERS TO BE FLOWN) AS THE EQUIPMENT HAS NOT BE FLOWN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW.
Thanks to all who helped the Maintenance Crew this winter.
Happy landings 2006!
