More goodies
I used WishZone.com to give some hints for good presents for my birthday this year. My parents sprang for the Emergency Locator Transponder, and my in-laws bought the com and transponder antenna. Very nice.
Julie (with a little guidance from me) found a great present. There’s a local guy, Bruce Williams, that owns an Extra 300L and does aerobatic training. Julie bought me a spin & recovery training package. Bruce has his plane up here in Seattle only during the summers. In May I’ll be able to do the training. I’m really looking forward to it.
I also ordered the Airflow Performance fuel pump and filter kit from Van’s a few days ago, which coincidentally arrived today. This pump is only required for a fuel injected engine, which is what I’m planning on using. It looks like a pretty straight-forward assembly (as with most of Van’s stuff) with some tricky tube bending. It wasn’t absolutely necessary to get this kit right now, but I wanted the parts to finish the cabin covers. The pump and filter look very cool. I guess they should for how much the things cost.
