Aircraft inspection time!

Time I start posting on this blog! Have been rather busy getting things done to facilitate my return to full-size flying!

Yesterday was ATF inspection, W&B, Alt & ASI calibration and compass swing day at Rhino. Even managed to check a transponder. Had to do 3 planes!

2 of the planes, the Bushbaby and the KR2, has been standing since around 2014 without flying, that was when I stopped flying due to medical reasons. The third one, a Pietenpol, is a new, recently finished plane that is now ready to fly.

With my medical issues now history I have to get the fleet active again thus the hectic day of inspections, calibrations and checks! All three passed without snags so it is just a question of getting the paper work processed before the will be flying again!


Weight and balance being done on the Bushbaby
Next it was the KR2's turn
And then the soon to be test flown Pietenpol

With these planes now legal again it is time to log some hours quickly as I have a ferry flight of around 650 miles coming soon and I want to be ready for it.
