The tea was fine, thank you Bose-X
I kicked away as many stones as I could find and got away from the rest OK; no nicks in the prop this time.
I put the heater on full blast the moment I was in the air!! Perhaps the perpetual sub-zero OAT is what prevents the NIMBYs up your way from closing all those airfields they way they have done down where I live. They are all stuck in their little houses, shivering, feet up against the coal fire
