Off to the Alexis Park Inn tomorrow

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

Welcome to a growing tradition. You will not be disappointed.

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.

No, I hadn't planned on OSH this year. Some year, yes. However, I am
reconsidering the trip VFR. Today and tomorrow look pretty good after all.

Good compass tracking practice.

Got a compass, Got a clock. Lift is not affected. Good Luck.

Bummer, hope it works out to go VFR. This sub-thread was a nice little
reminder of just what is necessary for VFR day, VFR night, and IFR
flight. Tomato Flames, Flaps, Grabcard. Ah, yes, it's all coming back
now :-)
