Day: October 27, 2011

Well, MYRO’s insurance comes into effect from a minute past midnight tonight so in effect, I can now fly out of Ken’s any time I want to. The weather for Saturday looks as though it could be a bit ‘iffy’ with wind from the south-west together with a few gusts, but although tomorrow there could be a bit of low cloud, the wind is forecast to be north-easterly and fairly steady at 7-8mph. Now that would suit me much better as it would be blowing up the slope on the field where I have to take off and almost straight down runway 06 at Stoke where I have to land and given how long both MYRO and I have both been out of the air, the easier and safer I can make the whole exercise, the better I will like it.

So tomorrow looks to be a much better day for ferrying MYRO across to Stoke for its check flight. I have an appointment about mid-morning but I think the best thing would be for me then to take the rest of the day off and do the flight. The field at Ken’s is an unknown quantity at present and although we know it should be OK taking off there downhill even with a bit of a tailwind, I’d rather not be trying it out on MYRO’s first flight after the repair, even knowing what good shape MYRO is now in. So now all I can do is wait and see if tomorrow morning the ‘actuals’ line up with this evening’s forecast and take it from there. Fingers crossed eh 🙂
