Default Cherokee still flies

I finally got the Cherokee out of the hangar yesterday and took it up
for a late afternoon glide. It still flies as sweet as ever, and I
swear it is getting QUIETER with old age! No real lift up there to
work so i dorked around with some turns and watching some friends come
and go in powered aircraft.

My welder buddy looked at my trailer and said "no problem" so that
should be fixed this week. Time to start soaring!

It's always good when you find your glider didn't forget how to fly
during the off season!

LOL! And also that the tow pilot remembered how to stay in position.

I stopped by just as Ray was finishing. As we closed up the hanger I
said, "nice work Ray, you've got our spring entertainment up and
running again. Where will he land next?

By the way, Ray told me to tell you it would be a good idea to
lengthen the safety chain and run it around the trailer axel. Just to
be on the safe side.
