Best Wishes from Buenos Aires

Post by 5469 »

Dear friends,

As 2020 draws to a close, I want to tell you that I am especially grateful for your continuous help and friendship through this incredible and challenging year.

I could rebuild almost completely the original electric installation, with new wires and circuit breakers, I installed wheel covers that were offered to me by an association website member, I revisited the whole trim installation that was working fine, but had the old cosmetic of the 40's. Also painted the wheel trim cover and put decals that an association website member sent to me via mail.

My 140 flies always very well quasi hands off and never showed any bad habits, the engine sounds like Mozart music. I installed many years ago a full flow oil filter STC, but I stick anyway to the 25 hs oil change. Is very little increase in hourly cost, and I am convinced that is the best way to maintain a clean and healthy engine.

Finally, just wish you and your loved ones all the best in the new year 2021 !

Cheers !

Horacio

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too!
Frequent oil changes are very good for your engine.
