Fleet Ready For Inspections

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: ZASoars

The good news is that the glider fleet is now ready for their annual inspections !  Many thanks to the club members that have showed up each week in the warm plus the cold to help get the fleet tuned up for 2007. No need to single out anyone in particular but those that have made up the "regulars"; we really appreciate your help !
Regarding maintenance costs in total , we do have to bite the bullet on the "annual " for 87Z, as it is going to cost a little more as we have 3 cylinders on that engine with well below normal compression . A " top overhaul " is going to be needed . Part of the cost of the tough life of Tow Planes .
Soon you can relax , but it's not all over yet and anyone that can make it out next weekend;will be able to help us in the luxury of a heated hangar as we plan to clean up 87Z while it is still in the "warm air" of the maintenance hangar. We hope to see you then !
The Maintenance Crew.
