Hi Gang, Mike Here --
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or any other appropriate tidings of cheer!
We have an exciting December ahead of us, with the addition of two new planes, two new CFIs (one, Arthur, a FlyC Alumnus), and a pretty busy schedule all around. With the fair weather, and the cool temperatures, flying is quite nice in the southland lately.
School happenings:
68U is back after an extended visit to our experts at Corona Cylinder. She was in for a generator replacement and we did some preventative inspection & maintenance while she was in the engine shop. . sorry for the long downtime!
08V passed her annual inspection with a minimum of fuss.
72F is in for generator & starter replacement. Yes, that pull-starter has grinded its last. Let's hope the downtime is less traumatic than 68U's.
20U passed her 100hr inspection.
Name Contest!
We're thinking about naming our aircraft, and would like to involve not only our cadre of pilots, but local community groups. If you know of area schools who would like to participate, or if you can suggest a clever way to get everyone involved, we'd like to hear it! email ideas, or comment them here!
We're ready to donate 10 hours of time, plus as many of those little balsa-wood airplanes as are desired, so ping the teachers you know if they would like some pilots to crash their classroom! We're especially looking for contacts at Centennial and Corona High, but Riverside, Norco, and Yorba Linda are also candidates.
