(I needed a break from family med problems)…..i learned to fly in ’86 in the L-13 ( and 2-33’s, 2-32) that Ron R. had at his W.C.S. at 1C5…..I really enjoyed the L-13. They trained us in correct flap usage, I was ok with it. It seems that the fiberglass duals are ~100, to 140 lbs heavier than older aluminum gliders. The ask21 heavy, Pw-6 heavy….and probably too expensive anyway. A hot day in >800 lb craft might be difficult for the c182.
I’d like to help&fly, but cannot get there till maybe 2:00pm (14:00), as
morning will be at Rush U. hospital getting a 2nd eval for wife’s
paraganglioma tumor.On Wed, Jul 10, 2019, 2:05 PM Sky Soaring
Attached images:
I found the good tent stakes in the old tubular canopy black bag, near the balloon baskets.
The stakes were placed on top of the box for the fold-out blue canopy (near soda vending).
The towplane front strut is out-of-service,(Sat afternoon ops), deflated (sorry!). We did not know how to precisely service it.
I briefed Gary Palumbo today, on that condition.
I can tow on Saturday 7-6, and can attempt to get ’11D” preflighted by 10:30Am.
If someone can spot me in late afternoon for tows, I have to leave field by 4:00pm
That main line clog is probably it. Sounds like fuel valves are independent
from the Carb system, so carb/float/jet assembly is ok??
PS: I also noticed after I mowed Fri w/ hustler, the 0-turn belt drive
guards must be opened and clean that upper deck mechanical area. There was
all sorts of debris, dirt, mud,weeds etc., stuck there, waiting to mess up
the belts/pulleys.
What i did not know how to do was effective “clear” of the blade deck
underside. The blades might be choked with debris, too.On Sun, Jun 23, 2019, 10:34 AM Sky Soaring
