All the little details...

So many things to finish.  

Final inspection schedule for somewhere between March 3 and 5.

I havent posted much because I have been so busy...

Log books are done.  Engine, Prop, Airframe and Journey logs.  POH is written.  Checklists are written. Maintenance manual is written.

Fuel flow test report is done and written.

TC's application for special cert of airworthiness.  Done.  All 3 copies.

Header tank has been removed, new bungs added, refinished, and reinstalled.

New level sensors for header tank obtained and installed.  New monitor board, indicators, and software complete.

Interior placards done.  Exterior placards waiting on polishing to be finished.

Paint touch ups done.

Tanks calibrated.

Fuel system leak found and dealt with.

Park brake valve leak found and dealt with.

Dealing with slightly sticky fuel tank sensors in main and auxes.  Checked against SB, does not apply.  Removed one sensor and checked.

Complete inspection on all control systems complete.

Deflection of all control surfaces verified.

Electrical system diagrams complete and printed.

All required paperwork done.

Went through checklist multiple times.

All exterior placards installed.

Progress update... final stages

Well, progress has been steady.

Magnetometer and compass calibrated.  Magnetometer had to go back to Dynon, and they just sent me a new one.  I had standard AN bolts fastening the magnetometer, which are now replaced with brass.

The header tank sensors I used are... well... garbage.  Not going to live with that, so the tank is out and new sensors ordered.  Tank removed.  Parts arrive today (2/11), hoping to get the new bungs welded in tomorrow.  Have to create a circuit for the display.  Actually looking forward to that.  

Aircraft is at the paint shop for touch ups and polishing.  I still have access, but its on the other side of the field... lots of trips back and forth for tools.

Had a fuel leak around the pump assemblies.  Fixed.

Another brake leak on the park brake valve.  Fixed.  Need to top up the reservoir.

Prop settings updated for UL520T.  Was set for UL520IS.

Started log books / maintenance schedule / out of phase tasks.  Draft of prop log / maintenance schedule, etc complete and reviewed by peers.  Minor changes recommended.

Things left to do:

1. Finish log books
2. Print W&B
3. Lower aft strut fairing fasteners
4. Set fine pitch stop on prop.
5. Aft belly inspection panel
6. Document all control surface deflections.

After that, its time to get flying again and get my training plan ironed out.

Nice photo shoot on Sunday.
