1/28/24

Sunday,  Rainy day. 


My flying buddy John came over today. Before he came over I had to finish up a couple of project to free up some space. We are going to balance his new Cessna 150. 


Finished the cub with the big wheels and fixed the elevator. Then put it in it's place. M helped by marking the wheel collars and coming in when 4 hands were needed. She then sweeped up the workshop floor. What a great help!  


John came over. The Cessna is 84 inch in wingspan. After moving things around we  put it al together.  Then we adjusted the balance machine and lifter the plane onto it.  It was pretty good! 



We then inspected the plane and thought that all the bolts to hole the wings on were a bit fiddley. The thought of losing a  couple at the field and then having to go home dur to that was not a good prospect.  We got on the McMaster website and ordered up some hardware that will be here next week.  

We then were talking about retirement and Medicare insurance. He's going to get me a couple of forms that I'm going to need to fill out. Also, he is going to give me info on some seminars for information.  Retirement close but not that close.  We were thinking of going flying together during the week. Yeah! 


Finished the new gyro board.  Sent it off to PCBWay. We'll have it soon!
