Today cold temperature but sunny weather. With Sabine we decided to go to the sea.

Due North to the bay of the Somme river, a small stop at Abbeville, unforutnately the café was closed and then back to Nangis.

A lot fo windmills on the way.

An under the sun a picture showing the green color of the livery.

First flight since one month. In the lest three weeks only one day was flyable and I was not available. So today I could make a short flight and 4 landings.

I also installed the full covers for the first time to protect the paint from brids and aother animals we have in the hangar. The covers have been custom made by Bruce Covers.

Gaël has helped riveting the wing skins (HERE).Yesterday he came to the hangar to have a look at the finished plane. During our short flight we did some stalls, fast cruise and two landings.

This morning great sunny weather. As Guillaume is at home with his photo equipment we decide to got to the hangar to get more pictures of the plane and try to get some in flight photos. This last part failed due to the fact that the lenses where a bit small. We however made a short flight flying over Blandy les Tours and Vaux le Vicomte castles.

Not many flights the last days as we reached 50 hours and maintenance was due. As the annual is to be performed before december I decided to anticipate it. It's the first big inspection so I had some news tasks, small defects to correct and a lot of panels to remove and reinstall.

I finished today with a small 20mn flight.
