| The flying was fine!I had a great flight with my Profile Pitts! Then it got cloudy so I took the chance to hit Thruway TruValue for a few bolts I needed. While I was there, I picked up the air cleaner (SCORF!!! TAKE NOTICE!). It was 14.99 plus tax. I looked at the blades, but had no way to know the right ones so I didn't buy them. However there were 2 brands, and one was 26.99 and the other was 14.99. But we need to pull the blades to be sure we get the right ones. I kind of think they are universal fit, but the store lady said no.
Anyway, I went back to the field to install the air filter, and it was bright and sunny so I pulled the Pitts out and had another awesome flight! By now there was a breeze coming up the runway from the road end and with the flaps down I was literally able to stop the plane above the runway and set it down dead stopped! Sweet!
So, do we still have a club or what?
