| Odds and ends while waiting on the FAA medical. My daughter, Toery came by Thurs to exchange some items, so we met 1/2 |
|
| way @ the hangar. she brougt our grandson Parley, for his 1st visit to grandpa's airplane. I think he likes it! I want to get the |
|
| cowling buttoned up. Prior to taxi to elf serve fuel for ofuel fill up and tank calibration. I had some gaps in the plenum seal and |
|
| the baffles, particularly around cly #6. So I took some measurements, mixed up some flox and built up the affected areas. Then |
|
| the next day, i progressively sanded it away until the gaps were either eliminated or significantly reduced. I'll probably need to do |
|
| some more work on sealling the plenum and baffles, but it can wait til after a few flights and some baseline data gathering. I |
|
| installed the nose wheel slot covers on the lower cowl, (had to clean out all the nutplates from paint/body filler). Also spent some |
|
| more time configuring the OP EFIS units, I still have a couple of config warnings that I'm having trouble clearing. reinstalled the |
|
| planum, the installed the upper cowl. this was the 1st time since paint that the upper cowl is installed, and 1st time, it didnt' |
|
| work/fit. I needed to rework the machined intake rings where the join to the cowling havles, and when done the rings seat much |
|
| better. Installled the cowl with all of the hinge pins, still VERY tight, but Ed says that will loosen up after the initial flights. 2 |
|
| remaining items, are to calibrate fuel tanks, and glue door seals. |
