Good night !Night guys! Have a great night.
The maiden flight went well. Had a few short flights while adjusting the carburetor. Propeller is too big, will have to order a smaller size. On the third tank of fuel I let time slip away and ran out of gas. Wouldn’t you know I was on a slow and low pass over the runway. Landing gear was down since I was going to land in the next lap. Right at the end of the runway she ran out. Snapped both landing gear off but Lady Luck was with me. Normally the landing gear gets ripped out of the wings but this time the gear struts snapped. Plane is fine, but got to replace the landing gear now. I’ll step down to a little smaller prop. She was running pretty good on the last tank. Smaller prop and it’s going to scream. Overall I am happy with it. Of course I’m upset I pulled s dumb stunt and ran out of gas.
Good morning brothers and sisters!
Morning gang. Not much sleep last night. Woke up at 2 to add wood to the fire. My dogs got loose and woke me up at 3am to squalling and fighting on the porch. Woke up at four, wife was sick. She’s pregnant and has had a rough time of it so far. Finally just got up at 5 and started the pot of coffee. Eased down to the basement to work on a plane.

noticed no rolling papers, bongs or grinders!
Must have been an emergency outbreak of Covid in the area. Poor guy needed a mask bad.
