| It is essential to keep a regular watch under the hood and ensure the Rotax engine remains in peak condition |

| Back in the air routing from Light Flight to Virginia where the airport was declared IMC and closed to VFR traffic due to a nasty haze that had settled over this part of the world. Luckily after requesting Special VFR I was allowed to return to land after being initially diverted to Pietermaritzburg |

The problem being near the coast is that the salty air is relentless and attacks every part of the plane. Jean, a Director of The Airplane Factory and chief assembly and technical guru, was in Durban this Wednesday and gave ZDL a good annual anti-corrosion spray as well as checking the wiring after our recent electrical fault. Thanks Jean for the factory's continued commitment to good service.
