Away goes the Dragon Warrior

Thanks Jean (right) and Daniel (2nd right), Director and Maintenance supervisor of The Airplane Factory respectively who came down to Durban on Wednesday to deliver a new Sling, to service one here and to ferry our Dragon Warrior (ZDL) back to Tedderfield for the 300 hour service and attend to the few technical problems we have been having. The under-read of the efis I experienced the other day turned out to be a salt build-up inside the pitot tube with the horrendous sea-air in Durban and this was sorted out and was fortunately not a power issue.

Jean and Daniel ended up taking the whole day with the service and delivery, also arriving late, and so had to stay over the night before ferrying our plane back to Johannesburg. As you can see from the margaritas in hand, we all made the best of the stay-over!!!
