...in June is STUPID.
I'm in Day 3, with one more to go, and -- even though we're on an island that is 15 degrees cooler than the mainland -- it's been tough. No surprises, but the heat and humidity have been brutal. And, of course, I'm missing out on some good after-dinner flying.
Worse, because I didn't build the plane, I just had to pay my old A&P mechanic $450 to sign my logbook in three places. Although he did show me how to time the mags, and did the compression check, that's a pile of dough to pay in return for not a heckuva lot of work.
So, here's my new plan. I'm moving the inspection to February, when it's normally in the 60s here. And I'm interested in finding an A&P mechanic from "Up North" (where it's really, really cold) who would be interested in coming to the island for a week, in exchange for free lodging at our aviation themed hotel, Amelia's Landing Hotel. I'll do all the work, and all you need to do is inspect my workmanship, and sign the books.
Barter. I love barter.
Any of you snowbirds interested? It will get you out of the worst of winter, and help me out!
