How'd you find the Engine Noise level? The Build is good isn't it .  Nev

Was a little noisy even with Bose A30, yes it looks well built,  will get to know it better in the coming weeks.

BFR done and dusted today, then onto ride on mower maintenance, thought it would be a quick two blade change.  Not to be and doing a bit extra.

Moneybox,

 

"The iPad lasted all of 10 minutes dying as I passed over the dry Lake Austin just south of town. "

 

Have you installed a ventilated iPad docking station ?

Is your iPad fully charged before you take off ?- this will reduce the inflight charging temperature.

Can you shield your iPad from direct sunlight?

Skippy, the iPad was fully charged and shaded however it didn't have a fan. It was just the extreme temperature in the cockpit from the high ambient temperature and the few minutes doing the runup with the canopy closed. The interesting thing is it still recorded the trip even though the screen was shutdown. I had it charging from a powerpack. Once I got my final waypoint into the MLG iEFIS Lite that was the best way to go. The MLG compass heading is much easier to follow than the wobbly ball in the magnetic compass.

Up and ready to face the cold gusty wind. Half hour wait for daylight, I guess I got up a bit early but I went to bed very early as well.

I collected another 20L of spare fuel, not sure if I can fit both Jerry cans in the seatbelt and still clear the stick.

I’ll be fighting a strong cross wind for better than three hours so I’m pretty sure I’ll add fuel in Paynes Find, not because it’s empty but because it draws more from the LH tank and I have no control over that.
