Cessna 20U has completed her test flight series on Saturday, and has been made available on a limited basis for XC flights. We have logged 2 hours of test flying with no incidents, and will now be performing the engine break-in procedures for the next 8 hours.
Break-in procedures require us to run the engine at as steady an RPM as possible, and under the highest power setting possible, at full rich mixture. This means XC flights only, no touch-n-goes or slow-flight manuevers. We expect 20U to return to flightline duty on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Cessna 08V has had her beacon repaired. Yes, we'll paint the new beacon fairing as time allows.
We're on a squawk hunt again. I removed the squawk link from the homepage, but it is still accessible at The Squawk Page.
I've noticed we've been having problems with doors that are difficult to latch, particularly the CFI side. Also, Gyros are in for overhaul, and we are considering a new interior for 20U.
Please let us know about any other things that are not quite right with the planes.
Blue Skies!
