A little TLC for the 182

For the last week, the C182 has been at Henstridge for some maintenance. Nothing too drastic (I hope) but a little TLC and a few bits and pieces. A VG or three need replacing, both front seats need some attention, and I'm planning on getting the 530 taken out so that I can return it to Garmin for a small repair - the screen brightness control (that is normally automatic) has reverted to only being very dim. It is possible to change it by going to the right part of the menu, but it is a pain having to do that with every engine start.

I'm planning to head for Henstridge early on Tuesday to see how things are going, so fingers crossed...

Who stole my week?

It's been a busy week (it's press week) with all sorts of aviation activity and writing going on. Time's still short and the deadline is rushing towards us, so I thought I'd go for the short, succinct blog review of the week so far...

Katana - Safe, strong and a bit expensive
Egyro - Expensive, small and hard to use
iPhone software - Get AeroWeather
Dick Rutan 'Decision Making' DVD - Good, but very cheesy in places
Log Ten Pro - Amazing customer support

Now for QSY...
