I nipped down to the field this afternoon and managed to get more or less everything done that I wanted to. I started by sticking all the principal cockpit placards on – I made them yesterday using an old hand Dymo machine that I had in the cupboard. Then I put the new tyres on the main wheels, which took me much longer than expected because I couldn’t get the second wheel back on properly. Somehow it had grown while changing its tyre and was too wide on the axle. I had to strip it apart again just in case I’d trapped a bit of the tube or valve between the rim halves but that didn’t solve it. After struggling for the best part of an hour, even longer possibly, Bob suggested taking the other wheel off and swapping them over. Sure enough that did it – who would believe that two seemingly identical wheels could be that different \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n
Then I took the nose wheel off because I have to bring that home for the local tyre fitter to do the tyre swap. After the struggle he had on Saturday I bet he won’t like seeing me come through the door again :o:<\/p>\n
And finally, just before I cleared up to come home, I remade the dodgy electrical connection that pulled apart on Sunday and that I’d done a hasty repair on. So that was it. With the new tyre on the nose wheel, MYRO will be all ready for its Permit Inspection. I just hope all my paperwork comes through and that I haven’t forgotten anything \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
