Today, in Napa Ca., Dave (Mr. PA 75) Fitzgerald was caught on camera servicing his plane on an electric planes' UDT. Does he have no shame??
What's next for him, a real electric powered plane?
Well, I am not holding my breath on that one!
I am currently staying at Dave's place while we train together for Perth. We are leaving Saturday for downunder.
Our training has gone well. We have coached each other, and today was an especially good session as we both found mechanics issues with our posture etc. that when corrected made minor flaws disappear. Our equipment is working well, and tomorrow will be my last day of flying before packing to go. Dave will fly some Friday before doing his packing.
We hope to do well. The early nature of this world champs should not prove to be a detriment to us. El Nino has blessed us with some "reasonable" flying weather this winter and spring. I trust we will do well.
We will report back in after the competition.
