Today, Romuald, RV-7A builder visits the hangar to finally make a flight. While waiting for him this Yak-3 landed.

And the postflight grin.

My doctor for the last 25 years came to the hangar. He had followed the build during various house calls. The weather being fine he and his wife got the castle tour.

And in front of Blandy les Tours.

Today we had blue skies and planned to fly to Mont Saint-Michel with a stop at Grandville. First we could not fill the tanks as the pump refused to give out any avgas, we postponed this for our first stop having enough fuel on board.

After 10mn of flight, the oil temperature began acting up before settling at a very low value. All the other parameters were in the green. As we were at the bginning of the trip we diecided to turn back and investigate. I think it's either the probe or the wiring.

At home a search on the net showed the probes were problem prone so I orderd a new one but I'll also check the wiring next time at the hangar.

Anyway, we'll see Mont Saint-Michel another time.

With spring time, at last some nice flying weather. I managed to fly twice today and did some basic work : stalls, turns and a few patterns. The trace is looking weird du to the fact I had to adapt to some traffic in the pattern
