technical weekend

It's slowly time to get ready for the flying season. Looking out of the window the weather is not quite there yet but it shouldn't be long and we want to be ready.

The annual inspection on the 55 was due and we started it this weekend. In fact, it's almost finished now except for few little elements, like a self locking washer for the tailwheel, that need replacing. Other than that we just have to put the glider back together making sure there are no spare parts left and off we go. Here are some pics showing the picture perfect working space that we are happy to have:

you can rig and de-rig inside

guess where the yellow one is coming from?

the tail wheel has never been taken off before

plenty of space even for the Wilga in the far corner

the naughty corner with the beer fridge
