Promoting the safe enjoyment of aviation for pilots, aircraft builders and enthusiasts.
January was a challenging month for flying, prompting upgrades to an aircraft named Chrissy. Key enhancements included larger tires, adjustments to landing gear height, relocating instruments for better visibility, and adding a second radio and audio panel for improved communication. The installation is nearing completion, with a follow-up report promised.
Excitement is buzzing among members upgrading to faster, sleeker aircraft, with several new planes at the horizon, like Pat’s Cessna 120 and Troy’s RV-10. The club is evolving, and plans for this summer's Oshkosh are underway. School is also thriving, with interesting studies on fuel injection and propeller mechanics.
The trip planning involved upgrading to a private pilot's license and rebuilding an Avid Aerobat. After exploring various aircraft options, a decision was made to build an RV plane. With the arrival of a baby, the project continued, leading to a planned flight across Canada with a fellow pilot. Preparations included careful weather monitoring before departure.
