What did you do with your RV this weekend? (12/31/2022 - 1/1/2023)

...getting it started. v/r,dr

Took advantage of the 40* wx and did a little work in the pattern yesterday. Wind was calm and was almost impossible to have anything but perfect landings. Put a smile on my face and made me think I was bob hoover for a short moment. Calm winds are not something we see often this time of year and next time likely back to 20 kt cross wind and wishing I was based at an airport with 2 runways. My field is a bit notorious and most local CFI's exclude it from their solo endorsement.

Finally, got to go for a short flight for the first time since mid-November. It felt good to get the RV back in the air after 6wks and me off the surface since Dec. 4th. (Spent most of the month in the simulator- I feel your pain DR)

Why so long? I had to repair all three legacy G3x displays that cracked, one spectacularly. If you find yourself in this predicament and would like a less expensive fix, send me a PM. Also, reinforced my panel in the one area that I think was part of the problem.

Installed a Tanis preheat system- yes, it does get cold in Georgia.

We appear to have had about the same idea.

Great minds and all that! Not to mention that was where the clear air and sunshine was!
