Flight preparations are nearly all complete for the Thorney - Nice trip. Test flying last week threw up a resonable list of requirements starting at the ground floor they were, breaks not working on one side, nose wheel steering stiff to the point of unusable, fuel mixture rich, Radios and GPS needed fittiing with power supplys, key needed fixing, hang point renewing, engine tuning, and the machine needed a lot of love! Today Elsi got the final wing wash, engine wash and de-rig. Before that she flew, brakes not great but at least working together now so usable, hand brake fixed, she flys so well, not fast but loverley and straight, the engine did not blacken the plugs.
We still have some flight planning and packing up to do, as the final preps for Tuesday come together...
