Time to push back away from the keyboard and do some flying this weekend. Gonna hit a flyin breakfast this am and dynamically balance a buddy's prop before we do a little formation flying. Gonna be a great weekend in the Midwest for flying!

Now get out there and burn some gas! :yes:

Where are you going and what are you doing this weekend?
 
The weather couldn't be better.
I'm out here in the 172 I learned to fly in.

Have a first time flyer with me. He it's loving every second of this

hmmm, I am the midwest and out my door at this minute is 100% humidity, slow drizzle, 2 miles viz, and cold.
 
And wind, 12G18, and at Sullivan, MO it is always a cross wind.
 
Major fog just rolled in here too.
Starting to mist

Went from severe clear to this in about 10 min.

I'm hoping good weather it holds through Monday...need to get a Jabiru Light Sport from Minnesota to southern Florida!
 
Figures. I'm sick as a dog, and the Bo is still in annual waiting on a part.

Weather here is good and at the big bonanza flyin in TN. I suppose that is my luck.. Next weekend will probably be rainy with low ceilings with the Bo and I back in service...

Grrr...

EBOLA!!!! :yikes:


Can I get it from quoting him on POA? :dunno:
 
Went to a EAA flyin breakfast and had a great time with my buds. Good conversation.

After breakfast I balanced 2 airplanes. First one was an RV-4 started out at .45 IPS (Inches Per Second) :eek: after a couple of runs I got it downto .01. :D. Second one started out at .11 and I got it down to .02. Feels good when you can improve the comfort for the pilot and reduce strain on the airframe and avionics. It even makes the plane go faster! :lol:

If you own a plane get it dynamically balanced. You'll be glad you did.

Went flying for an hour and did some rolls and loops just for fun. I love wingovers and exaggerating the turn to almost inverted hold positive Gs.

Just a great day to fly with temps in the 50's, lite winds, and plenty of sun. :cheers:

It just don't get better than this. :no:


:happydance:

You can pick up our brochure at the Hangar Hotel. And vice versa. :)

Hangar Hotel is a different concept, aviation-wise. They've gone for an overall aviation "feel" -- making it feel like a 1940s diner, for example, and an old fashioned officer's club. That's something you can do when you start "from scratch" with a blank slate and $20 million.

Their rooms, however, are quite generic. Nice, but no aviation theme, beyond some basic artwork.

At Amelia's Landing Hotel, since we started with an existing motel, we had to go the other direction. Our emphasis is on making each room a unique era of aviation history. So, you can start with the Wright Brothers, and work your way up to the modern era on each subsequent visit.

We are both aviation themed hotels, but are quite different in execution.

The ONLY thing I don't like about the HH is that it's too far from everything you want to see and do in Fredericksburg. We were in Fredericksburg Wed/Thu and stayed at an excellent non-chain hotel within walking distance of the historic downtown area.

Here we were, on the ramp in Fredericksburg yesterday morning. (We just missed 6PC!) It was a gorgeous couple of days:

We're sad we missed y'all, Jay! You should have stocked up your fliers while you were at the Hangar though -Bryan and I commented that there were only 3 left in the lobby.

We had a great couple of days, and finally dragged Bryan's parents, as well as his sister and her boyfriend down with us.

We all talked about getting down to Amelia's landing at some point in 2015, so we'll keep you posted on those plans.
