Rain?

Well the weather forecast was horrible so Mark
and I decided today would be the day to pull the engine out. A couple of hours later there it was, lying on the grass.


Photo below shows that the engine pylon was more than just "cracked."

New one should arrive tomorrow....

By the time we had finished the promised bad weather was still nowhere to be seen so we put the glider back together and went flying.

Thermals were about 2kts to 3500 feet; David and I set a task of about 170km which we got round without any problems.

The glider seems to be flying nicely; just one or two minor instrument issues to sort out...

Then out to dinner again.

Here is Lesley about to tuck into a small snack.

The weather is still forecast to be awful tomorrow but who knows?
