3/21 Update
...Timinfla2 RV-10
It's been a month now! Man
how time flies.
Liz and I have been
spending a lot of time at the hangar, mostly figuring out
where the project left off and where we go next. Oh and tons
of time organizing, reorganizing, buying tools and then yes
some more organizing.
I was VERY hung up trying to fabricate the four F-10104
rudder cable links because the material was so unbelievably
hard to cut - 0.050 4130 steel.
The FBO has a jump shear that didn't even put a dent in it.
The local legend here at the airport happens to be only a
few hangars down from me and it took him about 5 minutes to
whip up links for me that would have taken me 5 weeks. Thank
God for Wes - Liz and I have said that about a hundred times
already and we've barely started building.

Flying for food
...Roy Thoma this past weekend
Saturday I flew solo to
Cleveland TN (KRZR) for the $10/plate CAP breakfast. Nice
conversations with several folks.About 120nm each way from
Hensley.
Sunday my neighbor Pat joined me and we flew to Columbia, SC
(KCAE) for our first meeting of the South Carolina Breakfast
Club. Another $10/plate breakfast prepared by EAA Chapter
242. 30 airplanes and about 80-90 attendees.
About the South Carolina
Breakfast Club: "It's a home cooked southern breakfast,
great fellowship and flying! Every other Sunday since 1938,
pilots & aviation enthusiasts in and near South Carolina
have meet for breakfast. That's it! No dues, no meeting
requirements!" The SCBC missed a few meetings during WWII
and more because of COVID. Pat and are now lifetime members!
Today (Monday) Capt Sandy and I flew to Elizabethton (0A9),
borrowed the courtesy car, had a nice lunch at The Southern
Restaurant, then shopped "antique" stores for an end table
before returning to the airport, filled the fuel tanks and
had a nice short flight home.
Under wing antenna
location?
The image is from Stein Air
FAQ webpage. I only have a single comm antenna under the
pilot seat, but if I needed a second would put it under the
passenger seat. Contrary to Stein, put my ADSB antenna on
the bottom behind the baggage bulkhead.
