Flight T25 to Echo Lake
Saturday morning flight from T25 to Echo Lake private airstrip with circle and return. Legal Eagle XL ORV powered with the Verner 3V performed flawlessly as expected. Average speed was approximately 45 mph with fuel burn of 2.2 gallons per hour.
Flying a Legal Eagle XL named ORV.
Beautiful evening, not a bump in site and very clear. The Verner 3V 3 cylinder radial took us into the air with ease and LEXL ORV and I enjoyed just looking at everything we could see in the distance and below. Great way to get above earth and join the birds.
Building Ribs without pain
I was talking to Leonard the other day and he mentioned a great way to keep the glue from sticking to the rib building fixture. Mark out where the gluing will take place on the board and then cover these areas with 2″ wide clear package ceiling tape. The glue does not stick to this tape. I have not tried this process yet but will so do in near future.
