We returned from our trip to
San Luis Obispo, California.
Arlene’s aunt passed away and we decided it was important for us to be
there. Other than her son and his wife
and her daughter, we were the only family members in attendance. Aunt Ruth was 95 years old and most of her
friends have already proceeded her in death, so the funeral was quite
small. Arlene and I have not been in San
Luis Obispo since 1971. I went to
college at Cal Poly and it was fun to see the old campus again. It has changed drastically in the last 43
years. I even found a dorm building with
our name on it. I am sure it was not named ‘Jespersen Hall’
because I attended school there. But, it
was fun to see and I took a picture.
Today I put the top cowl back on and adjusted the fuel computer to
a more realistic number. I took a
picture of the reinstalled and sealed pitot tubing attached to the pitot
tube. It also shows the safety wire to
the pitot block. The tubing had better
stay attached this time. Based on some
information found in the VanAirForce RV-12 forum I have increased the value to
120,000+. I will see if the actual fuel
used and the calculated amount come a little closer. I also used some Plexus to clean the bugs off
of the nose and wing. With everything
put back together, cleaned, safety wired and updated, the airplane is once
again ready to fly!
