I picked Randy up and we flew to Oroville for their display day. Bill was opening the hangar when we left, and he beat us there in his RV-6 by about 30 minutes :o)

I went to the airport, did a thorough preflight, then took the plane out for a test flight. I did 5 circuits, then went and flew over the house before landing and putting it away again.
It also caught me playing with slow flight for a few minutes...

I went to the airport and finished up the 200 hour service on the plane - just cleaning and greasing things, mostly. While I was there I took a look at Randy's plane, he's had a few incidences of resistance in moving the cyclic, so we're going to take a proper look at it on Saturday - nothing jumped out at me though.

I flew to Oroville to meet Chris and Tim for breakfast, and we wandered over to the hangars to talk to Merle, who's tinkering with a Onex. I also got to chat to Peewee, who's something with the EAA chapter there - they're hoping to get the city to charge cost for their avgas on their display day next Saturday. I don't care, but that'll cheer up a bunch of guys at Lincoln who usually head up there.
As usual, I was too low for the ADS-B stuff to show up.
When I got back, I started in on the 1200 hour service for the plane. I've done all the engine work, now I just have some greasing to do on the pre-rotator and rotor head and I'm set for another 100 hours :o)
