Test Pilots & Plane Waxing....

Sunday turned out to be a very busy day!!!! The plane came out of 100 hour inspection on Friday night @ 6pm. It was only flown for a short period on Saturday. Because of the weather today Ethel’s schedule freed up and we decided to put some time on the new cylinders and try to break them in. So we flew the plane for a little more than an hour. It was fine @ 2,400 to 2,500 rpm but a little rough between 1,500 to 2000 rpm.

Once we got done our flight I went home and picked up our plane waxing professional Ron. Between the two of us we were able to get the plane waxed in a couple of hours and boy was she shinning!!! Special thanks to my husband for helping get this important part of pre-race prep completed. Here are some pictures of the plane...

We are still looking at departing for Fort Myers on Wednesday morning. Let's hope for nice weather and a plane that has it's cylinders broken in and ready to go!!!
