Fallston to Fallston

[captnkirk]

Well the deed is complete I've moved the new plane home to day. I'll post some photos in a bit. A bit of irony the airport I moved it from was in Fallston, MD and the closest town to us is you guessed it---- Fallston , NC--- what are the odds of that. Approximately 360 nm took a bit over 3 hours due to some headwinds burned 40 gals and had a true airspeed of 123 to 129 kts at 21 square. Cruised down low till I was past the DC airspace then spent most of the time at 6500 till I had to duck under parts of the class B in CLT. The first 1/3 of the trip was rough wind was spilling over the hills until south of LDN vor. I tried to set up my gopro but the battery die some where on the trip up so just a few shots on landing taken by the heir to the mortgage. it was a pretty day though nice colors in the mountains could not get to my phone I had put it in a bag and it slid to the back seat floor. I didn't want to read that accident report pilot found in back seat of wrecked aircraft Got to get a few things done more news at 11.

Welcome home.

Paint looks good in the pics.

yes it looks good from about 20 feet. I've spent the day poking around the fabric seems good it was just a poor paint job like MM said maybe auto paint with some flex agent. It will do for now I won't feel bad getting it muddy. It flies well radios work and the engine is fresh. Can't really ask for much more.
