They're planning to finally close our runway for repaving, 4 months starting in late July, so I need to take advantage of any nice weather.

After 5 months and 1 day of crappy weather, I finally got to go flying. It was a beautiful day until about 3:30 when it clouded up and rain started. After dinner it was just a high overcast and about 72°. After a good preflight I flew for 20 minutes. It's surprising how rusty you get after 5 months, I landed at about 55MPH. It's nice to have a plane which likes to roll straight down the runway.

This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.
