Working on Odds and Ends

Installed the canopy latch plates. Completed the installation of the throttle and choke cables. Torqued the exhaust manifolds. Installed the EGT probes. Tidied up the engine compartment adding ty-wraps where necessary. Safety wired the engine magnetic plug. Safety wired the engine oil tank drain. Attached the brackets to the HS after fabricating a couple of spacers.

Three major jobs left before the plane goes to the hangar. Temporary installation of the fuel tank and gluing the fuel tank spout to the turtle deck skin with fuel tank sealant. Trimming of the lexan rear window. Riveting the turtle deck skins and installation of the rear window.

It truly was a good move leaving the turtle deck skins and the rear window OFF until the very end.

Also spent a bit of time getting the old hangar cleaned up.
