ENGINE TESTING, FIRST FLIGHT, RECHECKING, SMALL MODS

I think the weather has really been sent to test us.  After the engine installation was completed and signed out, the winds were blowing at 40 knots all day across the airstrip.  Following a few short test flights in the cool of the evening a few alterations and modifications to systems were identified and needed to the completed.

Those mods are nearly completed however the daily temperature has gone up to 40 deg Celsius. Definitely too hot to fly.

Departure day to Avalon Airshow is now only 13 days away.
