Lime for the next area of field levelling was delivered on Monday and that was spread first thing.

A slower than expected start with mist and then orographic cloud keeping us on the ground until early pm. When it eventually cleared everyone remaining and wanting to fly, did so, and predictably when it was time to pack the hangar, the sky and conditions were at their best. In order to make sure everyone got to fly, we limited flights to 30minutes. Thanks to Robert Lee for tugging.

| Stirling Melhuish and Mike Groves from Skylaunch (Peter Smith) |
Meanwhile the delayed start enabled me to spend time with Stirling (who didn’t get to fly) and Mike Groves from Skylaunch on the winch repair and again continuing after flying. The new final drive is now assembled, installed and the gear selector mechanism has been tested and found operational. Much more spanner work is scheduled for tomorrow to complete the reassembly and possibly try some test launches. - Peter Smith
