I realised the other day that the centre pin in the BNC connector on 28AAD’s antenna cable was missing and as this would mean that I couldn’t use my Vertex radio kit in it, I needed to order a new connector. In fact I ordered two, from a German supplier who, unlike those in France, realises that if you spend only a few euros to purchase some items on line, it doesn’t make sense to then quote 20-30\u20ac in carriage.<\/p>\n

In fact, because their delivery charge was so reasonable (under 6\u20ac from Germany), I actually bought more than I was originally going to from their web site and have bookmarked it for future use. Read, mark and learn, French suppliers.<\/p>\n

The parcel arrived today so late this afternoon I went to Malbec to fit one onto 28AAD’s antenna cable, and as the flying conditions were still very pleasant, decided to go off in it afterwoods for a little local jolly. It was about time too, because I haven’t flown 28AAD since September of last year and I therefore thought that it would be a good idea to do a few landings at the usual places, Galinat and Condat.<\/p>\n

I didn’t bother planning a flight but instead just loaded an old one into my tablet, fired it up and off I went. I took a few shots along the way, and as there are only eight, thought that I wouldn’t bother choosing the best ones and to show them all below. The first two are of 28AAD at Galinat.<\/p>\n

Now one of 28AAD at Condat. There was some kind of party or function going on there and everyone watched me come into land, which was a bit disconcerting as the crosswind on the approach was playing some very weird little games.<\/p>\n

I then returned for a second landing at Galinat and here are some shots that I took as I approached and passed overhead Montignac.<\/p>\n

And finally, a couple of shots after I’d returned to Malbec of both of my aircraft in the barn there. I tried turning 28AAD round this time with its nose towards the back corner and it does seem to have given more room to push 77ASY further in.<\/p>\n

I put 28AAD up for sale on Le Bon Coin a few weeks ago but my asking price was a bit high and although there was some interest, there were no takers. Time to re-do the ad, I think, as it doesn’t make sense keeping two aircraft, and quite honestly, I don’t now enjoy flying the slow little Weedhopper half as much as I do the Savannah. It would be really nice to find a good home for her with an owner who will appreciate her more than I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
