| The wind's blowing lightly from the North. So by my standard, if I want to "go somewhere", I'll fly into the wind until 1/2 tank and then turn around. I didn't know how far I'd make it - but that yellow dashed line on the map is the Illinois-Wisconsin state line. |
| Some stats 1050 F exhaust temp, 300 F cylinder head temp, 4800 RPM, 28.7 MPH (ground speed) - air speed is probably about 35 MPH, 2180 Feet above sea level (ground is about 950 to 1000 feet above sea level), it's 10:01 AM. The motor has 41 something hours on it. [As I compose this write-up, July 4, 2007, the hour meter has something like 110 hours] |
| Looks like a nice enough day! |
