Getting exciting now. I would be more excited if I wasn't so tired.
The biggest thing after inspection was to get the interior reassembled. Some pieces havent been installed in years... like the forward tunnel covers. They were quite dusty.
Floorboards bolted in, and CARPET installed! I didnt realize that the carpet had to go in before the seat tubs. Now I do. Anti chaff tape on all contact areas. Seat tubs and seats installed. Center seat belt components installed.
Rear control cable covers installed. Rear seat back installed. Cargo floor installed. ELT armed and bulkhead A cover installed.
Right wingtip installed (removed for inspection). All inspection covers installed. 2 were missing. One found, and had some spares of the smaller covers. That one needs paint.
Installed the gear leg fairings and silpruf'ed them on.
Next steps / what's left...
- I have a fuel weep out of the collector to the fuel filters. Need new copper gaskets. Going to get them tomorrow.
- Training! Need a check out by a commercial pilot in type. I have a contact, need a good weather day or two.
- Test plan. I have the EAA test cards. Need to review.
- Polishing... the polishing is ongoing, but it is not going to stop the first flight.
