At some point I am going to sell my airplanes. With our heavy travel schedule and competing hobbies, aviation has fallen down the list quite a bit. Ginny has been bugging me to get on with it and so I started today. Step one for an annual is to run the engine. The battery has not seen much attention, so it wouldn't crank the engine more than a few blades. So Bloke and I set up to jump it off with my van. That worked just fine and we got the thing running. Checked out all the systems possible and then went back to the hangar to start the compression testing. Two jugs weren't behaving properly, so it is going to be a longer resurrection process that I had anticipated. Stay tuned for adventure.
