Arlington 2006

Went up to the NWEAA fly-in at Arlington with my friend Jeff today. It was much the same as last year. I was able to see the Advanced Flight Systems EFIS. It looks great. One vendor also had a Grand Rapids EFIS in a panel. I’m happy with my decision to go with the AFS-3400.

I stopped by the Cleaveland display and picked up a couple of tools and took a look at their fuel selector handle. It indeed looks very nice, so I bought one. Mike said he’s also working on some sort of elevated plate to go underneath the handle to take up the gap. Here’s the before and after picture.

After the show, we went out for a little cruise on my friend Steve’s newly acquired boat. It was an absolutely perfect day to be out on the water. While we were out, a train went by on shore carrying four 737 fuselages. Looked very cool.

I also borrowed the big crimper from Steve. I’m going to use this to make the battery, alternator, and starter cables.

No actual work done on the plane today, but had a blast!
