Collin,
absolutely stunning pictures! I can't help but miss my RF 5b but that can and will be sorted eventually. Beautiful coastline, but what's with all that swell and no surfers out?
May the 4's be with you/ Jörgen

Hi Jörgen,
Oregon's water is cold!

Well Collin,
I guess you're right, maybe it's too easy to migrate South for surfers. The southwest tip of Norway is home to many year-round surfers, but then again those waters are "heated" by the Gulfstream- to maybe a pleasant 4-5 degrees Celsius....
Again, great pictures, don't you just love those looooong wings that give such a majestic gliderfeel to the RF 5b? BIG difference compared to the 4, but still a similar feel, which is somewhat odd. Same same but different.
May the 4's be with you/ Jörgen

Hey Colin in the second to last photo there are 3 Whale like shapes in the water.
Are those whales, sunken boats or rocks?
Nice pictures. I guess Oregon starts to get wet and cold this time of year?

Hi,
With daylight savings coming up next Sunday, I will not be doing any flying after work. That is when I fly the most.
So it will give time to install strobes, panel lighting, manifold pressure gauge, controlled vacuum leak mixture control . I also going to move the starter switch (hits my knee) and raise fuel and choke levers. I also may reinstall the electric vario with total energy probe. And Chuck and I will do the annual inspection.
The 3 things in the second to last picture I think are sand bars.

Hi Collin,
Magnificent photos of what clearly was a very memorable flight.
I hope they sustain you through the long winter ahead.
Yours, Bob

Are you going to use LED stobes? (When I have the money, I'm switching to them.) Which ones?
Any progress on the valve to lean the mixture? (Not such a big issue in fall/spring temps around here.)

Hi,
This is the low cost LED strobe I am going to try.
