I guess every one need to know what happened at the team trials. Well Mr. Boy Scout, "always prepaired", had a battery go dead on the retracts and I did not have a replacement. I did learn one thing. I needed to look at things better.
   In that vein, I decided to look over things more closely and did I get an eye full. You must remember this aircraft was built 30 years ago and I missed a lot of things, shapes, details. etc. I decided to judge my ship and now I have another winter to correct things. There are a lot of things and the challenge is to fly at next years Nat's. I will be there. 

I did wonder what happened to you. Next year will be better. I will have 2 backups.
