Permit awaiting and impending storm

Waiting for the full permit .. BUT LAA have signed off and approved the repairs and the test flying that accompanied it !

With a hefty storm (Benjamin) on the way .. there was a smallish window on Sunday to get a last flight in before wind and rain spoiled the next 7 to 10 days 😞

With the new (front) battery in the start was pretty much instant .. but drizzle was definitely just a few minutes away ..

Decided to make it a pretty quick and short session.. once pul temps were up to 50 and the preceding aircraft had landed (such a quiet strip.. and you go to line up and someone’s on long final!).

So, with 2 teardrops from 01 (take off) and 19 (loop back) to land back the other way, and repeat the other way … managed 4 landings in 9 minutes .. bringing the total landings for the Ranger to 436 to date.
