One Year Later...

Well, what a difference a year makes. All the good flying weather has come and gone, the feared delays in receiving the new avionics turn out not to be an issue, and we continue to find problems.

First we find that the brief encounter with the runway that precipitated a new engine also resulted in a bent nose gear retract rod. With that repaired, we found cracking on the right flap at the hinge, so a new flap was ordered.

And then we discovered that the left aileron had a loose part (a bolt, perhaps?) inside the skin, so it was sent out to be re-skinned. Then, disaster strikes.
