Spring is here!<\/h1>\n

The plan? \u00c2\u00a0Do what you love to do……fly!<\/p>\n

Of course, if the weather is not great, you can still work on your aircraft and get it ready for all your spring time needs.<\/p>\n

Get your checklist ready<\/h2>\n

Check your maintenance records – check the history. \u00c2\u00a0What has been done lately, what needs to be done? \u00c2\u00a0Do it now.<\/p>\n

The oil – change it! \u00c2\u00a0Oil can become acidic and cause corrosion. \u00c2\u00a0Rust can mix with the oil and cause extensive damage to the engine.<\/p>\n

Check the fuel system – any damage or leaks? Water in the drain? Check the fuel\u00c2\u00a0gauge\u00c2\u00a0for damage.<\/p>\n

Check the battery and all the electrical components, radio and antennas.<\/p>\n

Tires? Check the tire pressure, tread, hydraulic leaks and struts.<\/p>\n

Wing flaps? Tail fins?<\/p>\n

Look for structural damage – watch out for birds!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clean – make sure your aircraft is clean inside and out. \u00c2\u00a0Check the for dirt and foreign objects in wing flaps and tail fin.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget the windows!<\/p>\n
