Default Off to the Alexis Park Inn tomorrow

Can you reschedule your vacation and head to OSH? or had you also planned on
doing OSH?

Jim, Jack, and Edwin, thanks. However, GA just let me down:

While taxiing to the runway from my home airport today to start the trip,
my HSI would not lock on to the magnetic heading. The HSI continued to
spin around and around.

We have an avionics shop on the field, so I taxied back over to the shop

to
have the tech look over the system. One hour later, the verdict was in:
Apparently my S-Tech HSI gyro failed and needs to be replaced.

End of trip before it even started. What a let-down.
