HOLY HYDRAULIC LEAK, BATMAN! 😲 Just when I thought getting Leilani back in the air would be smooth sailing (or should I say flying?), we hit a snag... a MAJOR snag.
In this episode, things get REAL as I tackle a pre-flight inspection gone wrong. We're talking:
Emergency Gear Swing: I'll walk you through the step-by-step process, showing you how to troubleshoot landing gear problems (something every pilot should know!).
Hydraulic Leak Mayhem: We uncover a leak that could ground our adventure before it even begins. The suspense is real!
Battery Blues: The new lithium batteries I ordered? Wrong size. 🤦♂️ (Anyone else relate to online ordering fails?)
Mechanic to the Rescue: Stay tuned for the next episode, where Eric the mechanic swoops in to save the day (hopefully!).
But wait, there's more! I'll also share my secret weapon for staying energized and focused during those long hours in the hangar: GREEN. It's the perfect blend of hydration, electrolytes, and clean caffeine to keep you going without the jitters. ⚡️
