well it's been a pretty productive day. the guys came and picked up the 172 and also a 152. the BPA (Black Pilots Association) is renting them for 2 weeks for a flying acadamy type deal to introduce kids to the joys of flying and possible career choices. pretty good deal. then after they left we fixed a cowl latch on one of our tomahawks, changed a battery on our warrior and fixed the idle adjustment on our arrow. actually it's been a real tiring albeit productive week. not only did we get the 172 painted but friday i had to trouble shoot the 152's tail beacon light. took half the day to troubleshoot and find the problem which was a bad flasher (aka power supply) in the tail of the aircraft. it takes the 24/28 volts from the aircrafts' electrical system and jumps it to umpteen million volts for the beacon light. anyway i had to scavenge one out of a 152 that's not airworthy right now but all said and done it is fixed. what a week. i deserve a beer.
