Hi Folks:
Been working on my mkIII every day for several weeks now. Done everything
from pulling engine to replace the Lord mounts, to changing the oil and
filter. In between, I had to rewire radio, GPS, and the DRE 6000 ANR
headset. Damn rat chewed through, not only the power wires, but cut the GPS
coax cable as well. Was a good time to replace the radio coax too. The
dirty rat also cut a brake line. I didn't know it until after I had rebuilt
both master cylinders. While the seats were out I cleaned up a lot of
mildew and mold from inside the fuselage, the result of heat and
condensation while sitting for a year in the hanger unused. While the
center section was off I insulated it and the rear of the fuselage for noise
reduction. I think it worked. While flying yesterday I was told my radio
sounded much better without all the cockpit noise. It is still noisy as
Hell, but has been quieted down a little bit.
Plan to depart Gantt International Airport, Sunday afternoon, and fly to
Panacea, Florida. There is a grass strip there about a mile from a good
seafood restaurant. I'll camp out there and depart early to catch the Kolb
gang at Lakeland about noon.
Looking forward to seeing the Kolb folks. Have not seen them since Sun and
Fun 2010. Also looking forward to seeing old friends that I usually only
get to see at Lakeland or Oshkosh.
Kolb asked me if I would tie down Miss P'fer on the space next to theirs.
Although she is 20 years old with faded, chipped paint, and a lot of fair
wear and tear, she still draws attention when folks find out a little bit
about her history. Miss P'fer still flies like she did when she was new,
but her pilot has slowed down a bit since then.
See you all in Lakeland.
