Chris,
Sorry to hear about your friend and fellow
officer. There is a lot more to that “protect and serve” than most people
realize.
Be safe!

I had a hose become damaged and I overheated over the airport. While I
landed well, I had to rebuild the engine. While doing so I found major cracks
in my turbo exhaust manifold too. (Modified off the shelf stainless manifold)
I made things prettier when rebuilt by improving wire runs etc. An
engineer friend and I are examining the best route for the new turbo
manifold.
Until the new turbo manifold is developed I have gotten the rest
of the engine back together. It is ready for flight, sans turbo, except for a
currently undisguised charging problem on my secondary system.
I had planned to find the charging problem and refine any tuning tweaks
last week but was derailed when we lost a fellow officer in the line of duty on
Christmas Eve. He was the first officer we have ever lost. We are a department
of less than 30 patrol officers, so, yes, we all know each other well. The
funeral was Saturday following much overtime and preparation.
While my department will never be the same we are hoping to create some
"normal" as we move on and for me that will likely mean getting to
the hangar.
Chris,
We haven’t heard from you lately.
How is your plane flying?

If it would have been for a Velocity and not an RV I would have thought
the same thing. :-).

I had a friend post it on Facebook. I had to watch it a couple of
times, as I was sure that someone I had talked to might have just recorded the
conversation and posted it wholesale 8*)

Re: : Good Movie
I opened it at work
Ernest (with good virus checking) … hasn’t blown my computer up yet …
Some of the lines are
too surreal: “I’m building a homebuilt RV8 airplane with a Rotary
Engine”; “The engine is pretty rare but there are about 100 flying” …
amazing.
