Saturday 2 May

Wednesday and Thursday this week were quiet at the club. Gerhard went home, but Geoff Pratt flew and flew. He's posted all his flights on OLC, and now he is leading the GFA decentralised winter comp.

I have been doing the 50 hourly on the Puchatek, but trying to fix up a few little bits at the same time. Cleaned all the gunk off the rudder pedal adjustment, so it works now. Please DONT lubricate it if it is a little stiff to move. It makes the problem much worse!

Tug needs a good clean too - its gone downhill a lot in appearance since Juho left.

On Friday Geoff took a day off and played golf with Little Petunia instead of flying.

Harry, Wendy and Dave Shorter turned up, and have been fiddling with the new winch. Still one or two teething problems, but should get a thorough testing this weekend. Sky looks good.

John has gone back to UK :-( so I'm feeling a bit miserable.
