Re: Where I Fly.
Lots of building going on but must take time to fly also. This morning was fly time.
Met Desertfox1 at his Chandler hanger early before the heat of the day comes on. Seemed like half of the local pilots had the same idea. Beautiful one hour plus flight in his Vixen around the area. No wind, bumps or even bugs to contend with. Too hot for all three I guess. Expecting 120+ degree heat here for the next 3 or 4 days. Must fly early or not at all.
There were 6 aircraft waiting to take off when we were on right downwind for 22 Right and cleared to land. Kept the speed up (118 mph) in the base to final turn and into short final. Hard forward slip to kill momentum and off runway at 2nd turn off. Got a thank you from the tower as he handed us off to ground.
They appreciate a Kitox's capabilities. So do we.
Then back to the shop for some cowling work.
My car said it was 114 degrees on the drive home at 5:30 pm.
A few photos of the morning flight.
