Yesterday I came from a bumpy ride. I have plenty of them Cousin showed up in his Tweety bird and started looking around to find a subject for criticism as he always does. He noticed a 0.5 degree angle on Vans pitot tube. I usually don't believe him but this time I checked. The blue anodized nut was loose I was able to unscrew it with my fingers. Check yours, tighten to specs and torque seal it.
I got a few "weird things" in my plane Rob good catch.This picture was taken in 2007 I knew nothing about pitots then Your RV is Tweety too? What's the story behind the nickname?
Our flight leader named his two RV's after cartoon characters... First Underdog and then Sweet Pea. When I bought an RV with bright yellow accents he called it Tweety Bird and the name stuck. Nothing more complicated than that.
If I ever re-paint (Tweety is mostly bare metal now) I will probably stick with a yellow paint scheme... I'd hate to change the name now...
