The RG is back in the air

Finally, after its gear-up landing WAY back on March 13, 2004, the flying club's Cessna 182RG is back on the roster with its new engine and 3-blade prop. I have to get a new club check in it for insurance purposes before I can act as PIC in it. I was going to get that done this past weekend, but the ceilings were too low for the tasks we needed to accomplish. So instead, 2 of us took up the fixed gear 182 for a little IFR practice. I get to add another .4 hours of actual IFR time to the books. That's not too bad since the part I flew took just over 30 minutes.
