Thanks again Pat 👍🏻

Thanks for another excellent video! If you want ideas, I've never seen a good video of a Gt450 or similar) walkthrough of: * A proper preflight inspection * Preparation for transport - mainly wing removal and installation with tips like how NOT to lose the Jesus bolt bushing. #facepalm * Process and steps for sail removal and installation including reinstallation of the leading edge mylar and re-attaching the nose tension straps. #bloodshed * Proper compression/leakdown testing of a 912 (or a 2 stroke for that matter). * How to re-prime the oil system with compressed air after some fool turned the prop to "get the last of the oil out" during an oil change #damit Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers from the U.S.

Glad you found time for a quick flight! the dreaded ping-demic has struck, hope all is good soon!

Yes great to fly those machines, first time thermally for me too. Yes CV19 is still around!

Interesting to see the wing cleaning method. Do you have anything that you would recomend to someone with the mildew inside their wing?

[@markatmicro5091]

We use wet and forget, it can be quite difficult to get inside a flexwing wing to treat when fully rigged

@@markatmicro5091 thanks for your response.

Cracking video as usual, thanks. Once you’ve cleaned the wing with the Sail / canvas solution do you have to ‘re-proof” the wing or just let it dry and it’s good to go?

[@markatmicro5091]

Hi John, you can ‘re-proof’ with Nicwax but even P&M didn’t really recommend it as it can seal the wing from future cleaning as it was mostly a water repellent. We use Wet and forget which is an active mill due remover. 👍🏻

[@johnmackay5288]

@@markatmicro5091 That’s good to know, thanks for that.
