We are having terrible weather lately for any kind of flying. We have needed the rain for quite a while now so I can't complain to bad. At least my yard might actually look green again for a while. These are shots of some more Brookneal training and the one on the left is our instructor Jeff Jenson watching Kiwi perform his pre-flight.
The machine I fly is tore apart right now or at least the gear box is. We were changing the oil in all our machines not to long ago and found a washer in the bottom, which could not be good. I am pretty much just a pilot and trying to learn more about the mechanical part of the machine. Joe does all the work to the machines and w/out him I would never leave the ground. I believe he enjoys working on the machine as much as flying them. Joe tore the gear box down and found a thrust washer missing but no damage to the gears which was a relief. So with the machine out of commission for flying right now and until all the parts come in to replace it this bad weather is not as hard on me.
