Report:

The oil leak at La Cholla has been pinpointed to a loose connection
at the turbo oil pressure sensing switch. We ran the engine, and it
ground checked OK. But we decided to test fly it. Dick took Bill
Dresher for a flight around the patch. The flight check was OK, so
we left for El Cajon.

We arrived after a two and a half hour flight over interesting terrain.
Wasteland interspersed with prime irrigated farmland, especially the
Imperial Valley, which stretched for many miles.

We arrived at Gillespie Field, El Cajon, CA on a holiday, so there
wasn't too much activity around. Bill ran into a young Barcelonian
aero engineer involved in the development of a composite VTOL airliner
for the Du Pont Corporation. He was kind enough to take us to the motel.
