Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild

Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Got up first sparrows this morning, a GRRRREEEAAT day for test flying an aeroplane. And fly she did, with no problems and no trimming or tuning needed. Hands off on the fist flight. Ref counter is lying. But she handles like a dream. Now I can play with her for six hours more!

Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Hi Boet,
Awesome job Boet.
Just curious, what do you do up there for the rest of the flight hours, are you doing speed checks, handling checks, stalling tests, calibrating ASI , monitoring T's and P's etc.
Anyway what ever you do up there be safe and have a bucket full of fun.
Kind regards,
Gunter Rostek

Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Hi Boet. Dont enjoy her toooo myuch! we want her back some time please. But of course we first need to visit and have a taste of the excellent food in your area.
If there is grass between your toes , you're flying to low.....
If ever in doubt about flying - drink a beer.
That will give you at least 8 hours to think about it some more.

Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Thanks Guys, I am going to TEST your BB. The whole gammut, because I have to complete you app for ATF. And for the rest of the time? JUST FLY John, don`t just make it a promise. You are welcome. Praat jy Afferkaans ook? To whoever reads this post, the blommetjies are getting beeeaauudifull . Should start peaking in about a week or two. We had more than average rain this year so should be spectacular. Don`t miss this opportunity.
Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Looks great, well done Boet. John take him up on his challenge and zoot down there in the GT. His afrikaans is OK as well Boet
Re: Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild
Had an early morning call from John. Jaaaa OK. Sy Afferkaans is goed. Vir n soutie. Sundowner flight this afternoon. All guages in the green, stalls @ ???? cannot tell. Steam guage or Glass MM thing?? What to belief. One says 38mph, other one 42. I think best to ignore MM "thing". Bit of a crosswind this afternoon, 90 deg, but with this very responsive plane, naw warries mate. 20 hrs and counting........the lads will have to wrestle this one away from me!!

Went for some more testing yesterday, and then flew some just for the pure joy of it. Saw some pretty spectacular flowers. We are about 2 weeks from peak flowers. EPH gave me a magic carpet ride.........
