Taxi Test & Flight Test

Taxi Tests have been scheduled for 7:00 am in the hopes that the wind will be less than 5 kts. Maybe on the long weekend we'll have calmer winds. Updated taxi test info will be circulated on the Jill's aviation mega directory, if you're not on that directory and would like to receive the info just email <jill_oakes@umanitoba.ca>. The current plan is to have Peter Moodie and Jill do the taxi tests with Ted Hector as Co-Pilot.

Flight Tests will be scheduled once the taxi tests are completed successfully...and after the Brandon Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum decides on discussions: a)  to replace original brass cylinder heads with aluminium heads and b) to inspect valves to see if they are original 'trainer' valves and if so, possibly replace valves..

Meanwhile, Dave Gillespie has kindly offered to check Jill out in his Transair Tiger Moth DH82C - likely over the Canada Day weekend.
