Jack Blanchard reviewed the February edition of Flightlines. This was to replace the door locks, and fix the strobe light switch and landing light. There is an AD pending on the change of oil at 50 hours, with an additive. Ted indicated that he would return 41E to Hayesfield for the oil change. There was a discussion about the recurring landing light failure on 41E. Ted will look into kits that would allow for a re-location of the C172 landing light from the cowl to the wing.
Experience indicates a longer landing light life on wing mounts.
An appointment was made with HAS at Hagerstown to conduct the 20 hour oil change on March 28. The oil filter canister will also be cut open and the filter examined by the HAS folks for the presence of metals. The Board responded to the inquiry of Matt Jurotich of the Goddard Aircraft Club. They wanted our reactions to their access to LFRA aircraft. We responded by saying that LFRA aircraft are available to active members.
