Interesting day today. It started off with giving a friend a ride to show off my newly installed GRT autopilot.
Next, I helped a Mooney owner install his cowl after maintenance. During the cowl install, we heard a buzzing sound coming out of the left wing. Tapped on the wing, and out flew a mud dauber. Went back to the cowl...a few minutes later...buzz, buzz, buzz...followed by tap, tap, tap...and out flew the mud dauber again. Cowl installed and time for a test hop. Successful test hop followed by buzz, buzz, buzz. This looks like a job for Terminix!
Next, I helped a friend work on his Republic SeaBee. Afterwards I was invited for a test hop. Friend opened the cowl to check the oil and found both sides of the engine impacted with a huge starllng nest. The aircraft remains parked outside and had not flown in over a month.
