Good to see you back in the air. We have had storm after storm here in Reno. Hoping spring will come one day.

All news I have heard is that it is a go and startting on The 13th as above. I’m on the way now.
We are leaving on the 11th...be there mid 13th. Hope to fly over that canyon that everyone is talking about.
In wing down mode to check the mast welds out on my Tanarg. Found one MAJOR gig. Carb retention spring clamp on the cross manifold vacuum balance lines was pulled down into the carb heat fluid line, pierced it and was leaking Antifreeze slowly. Big problem waiting to happen. Glad I found it. Turns out the annual inspection is a really good idea! Spring is here ... Look over your trikes and Fly Safe!
Thank you Joz. I have not done much beach flying but yes there is some thing special about playing around in the coastal breezes. thanks again. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I've been wondering where you were off to Leo! I've been grounded a bit by overworking as well. Hope that one of my oxygen breaks lines up with a break in the weather pretty soon...
Yupíí Leo, wellcome back again! I am grounted because a bad winter is here. Bad i mean that one day was -15°C, next day snowed and next day was +5°C and melted.... And that was repeated again and again... RWY is wet and muddy. I still can fly my Aeros Profi 14 wing, but I've ordered new Aeros StingRay wing.
Yeah, last year our company tried to land a large contract. The effort was enormous, but ultimately the UAV refueling tanker $805m contract went to Boeing.
So between designing and building the BMW engine truss, work, and then dismantling my Trike to refurbish/re-paint and year has slipped by. I'll post pics of the work soon. :)
