| Misc bits and pieces this past few days. I've reinstalled all of the inspection covers that were removed for the DAR visit. I also got |
|
| the help of Larry Schneider in removing the Magnetos. I have sent them to Quality Aero in Tulsa, to have them do the Service |
|
| Bulletin upgrades. They should be back next week. I received the wing Walk material from Ray Allen, yesterday. I like their walk |
|
| because it's a non skid surface, but it isn't made from sand/grit, but rather a rubberized material. I copied a patern that I saw @ |
|
| OSH last year, and I carried the material as far forward as the stiffeners for the tank and the root fairing allow. I decided on a 2 |
|
| piece implementation with one of th epieces on the root faring, and the rest outboard. There is a 'joggle' in the root fairing so I |
|
| copied the joggle in the material, and left about 1" space between the 2 pieces. Parker is all excited because now " we've got |
|
| Black stuff on the wings!!!!!!" I had some 'help' the other day with the upper cowl, and the result was that the paint cracked |
|
| between the intake ring and the prop spinner ring, The crack was about 4 " long and went through several layers and took out a |
|
| good sized chip. So this afternoon I ran the colw down to my painter for a repair job. I found an auto upholsterer yeaterday that |
|
| I'm goin to use to make the carpets and some of the side panels that remain to be completed. |
