First flight on the MT Prop

Well, we did finally get a decent day for flying, and we did get a brief flight in. But, as these things go, it was not perfect. After all of the fiddling we did with the high RPM stop, in flight it was set too high, and so on climb-out Beth was getting 2,750 RPM, […]

We’re also double checking that our insurance is up-to-date (Beth has her complex […]
