Club stalwarts Rick and Mike kept themselves busy. Today’s tasks included
some work on the GusLaunch winch which seemed to involve removing a closely
inspect the oil, and replacing the cam belt on the “new” Vitara as a
preventative measure. The fan belt also needs replacing but tracking down the

measuring the existing belt using pieces of string and a tape measure.
Very agricultural.

| Wednesday's Course |
In the clubhouse, which was quiet today after Wednesday’s course with
potential instructors Steve and Adrian with Don, the simulator received more
attention.

Dartmoor's headless horseman?
No, just me working on the simulator |
Will they fly tomorrow? I hope so.
