This 2 week adventure that I?m on with son has been one problem after another. My current roster of problems contains:
Lost all brake fluid right side - broken flare
Lost right brake - leaking o-ring
Flat right tire - under inflated
Lost both brakes - misassembly right and leaking o-ring left
Flaky Skyview network - cause unknown
Stranded at no service airport- can?t start, melted/ broken starter cable
The last one happened late this afternoon at International Peace Garden airport after we cleared back into Canada. Up in Brandon now will source a new cable tomorrow with the assistance of the local flying club. This was only a 55 minute flight from our planned stop and the day had gone so well.
I know these are not all my fault but enough of them are that I?m feeling like I am a shoe in for worst builder of the year.
Oh well, it?s only time, money and pride, don?t have much left of any of them. The hair isn?t far behind. I put the amateur in amateur built.
The rest of the big trip experience has been awesome. It?s a great way to travel.
