A few people came out to fly, but more maintenance work than flying was achieved. Sam fixed the hangar doors, Vic fixed the tractor and greased the winch, and Tim fixed the lawn mower and used it to good effect. Harry did some more runway work I think.
PIJ's battery was down a bit (my fault - I must have left the master switch on the day before) and I couldn't get it started. It don't think she likes the cold! With the help of Sam and Christian we jump started the aeroplane from Sams ute. All gliders were lined up ready to go, so I did four tows in quick succession without stopping the engine. Then I had to do a race to my Jabiru, which was packed and ready to go and took off for Cowra. I got there about five minutes after sunset, but it was still light enough to see fortunately. I had to get home to do some jobs for my Dad.
Sam test flew the Junior, Christian and Tim had brief flights, and Harry, the first to launch, was still airborne when I left...
