Saturday 4th February 2012

The day started with a few chores and a little disaster management.

The axle was re-attached to the trailer, the first cabinet was taken out of the hangar and re-located in the winch and engineering portacabin, Dave Parker fixed the plumbing that had blown apart after the freezing. A quick check confirmed it was now lunchtime and still raining.

The teach-ins included spins and spiral dive recoveries on the simulator followed by MacCready ( speed to fly theory ) and a flight around the set task on the simulator.

Matt completed with a racing finish at ground level and 1/2 knot short of VNE---somehow the wings remained attached as he pulled serious g after passing the finish line.

Then just like Christmas, our new toys arrived with a tired and wet crew.
