Hello members!
Just when I was ready to prepare my Max and go back in the air, I become very sick and ended up with two surgeries in less than a week. It was a combination if stomach and guts infection that kept  me for almost three weeks in the hospital.
So far two weeks have pasted after i left the hospital and recovery is going just fine but slow, at the rate of a 70 years old dude. I went down from 160 to 147 lbs. Doctors say 6 weeks for a full recovery. Fortunately there is not too much work at the farm this time if the year.
I hope next time I can deliver more airplane news on this site , however i’m glad to have overcome such problem and everything will be much better from now on.
Happy new year 2022 to all members of this  great site!

That is a hell of a way to start the new year Ricardo! Glad to learn that you are on the mend, if you can keep your weight down, your plane will perform better. My weight keeps going up! Here is wishing you a complete recovery, we will look forward to more of your videos.
