In February I flew over to West Wales to visit UL Power UK's (Metal Seagulls) new hangar and get a service and annual inspection done.
I had for some reason thought that my compressions were down and so ordered 3 new cylinder heads to replace the same as I did previously with cylinder number 3 when it's exhaust valve/seat was leaking.
As it turns out I needn't have worried as a compression test (when warm) revealed that the compressions were all good - virtually the same as they were at 200 hrs.
So I did the service myself and Jonathan Porter of UL Power UK did the annual inspection.
There were strong winds aloft as we had a series of storms during February, this made for a slow trip over but a rapid one home with a ground speed of 171 knots at 7,650ft.
Passing Talybont Reservoir - which we walked to in July 21 from our rented canal boat nearby. |

At Metal Seagulls, UK UL Power agents. First things first a compression test while the engine is still warm. |
