Winching again. I'm getting much more adept at setting up the winch, but today I lost the whip antenna for the VHF radio. Must have fallen off towing the winch out.
Roy Worthington is at the club again, and once again, is doing heaps of mowing. We will have to call him Mr Tractor! The strip is looking great again thanks to his efforts.
Kurt and Garry were the only ones to fly, but it looked like an excellent day. I could hear hang glider pilots on the UHF radio. Kurt had Garry had 5 winch launches, two of them being one hour soaring flights.
During the day, the tug arrived back. The engine problem has been fixed, the EGT probe replaced, and the engine instruments are all working properly now. The fuel tanks no longer leak when the tanks are full! The fluctuating power appears to have been caused by loose spark plugs and leads. Thanks to Country Capital in Tamworth. Garry and Kurt did three aerotow launches.
Hopefully now Kurt will be able to continue his training by aerotow!
