INTRUDER!

The Intruder performed flawlessly yesterday.  Only Ken, Bill, Don, and I showed up to fly.  That was likely due to the fog in the area.  It was a thin fog that had less ceiling than distance ,but it was flyable  so I was up first with the Intruder.  No problem but I did purposely stay closer for safety.  All my landings were on the mat...only the third one ran off the west end just a few feet.  The plane flew well.  The engine was fine except for a slight burble at the top of loops, which at that point put the OS90 four stroke upright.  Bill and I surmised that the engine is leaned out to run most of the time inverted, thus tends to be too lean when upright at the top of the loop.  I richened the engine one click and it seemed better on the third flight.  So I richened it one more click for the next outing.  Even though we were just four in number, it sure seemed to be one of the best days I have had there.  It was calm, the fog cleared but never went away, which probably helped to shield us from the sun which has been a PITA low in the southeastern sky, over the east end of the runway.  That resulted in the freedom to fly as far East as we wanted, a rarity.
