VAF Forums - 2nd Annual Inspection

For anyone who is interested, here are some items that showed up on my 2nd year annual.

203 total hours.
lycoming 0-320-D1A
RV9A #40908

1.Replaced original main tires and tubes (decided to try the Michelin tubes with airhawk tires).
2. Replaced oil and filter.
3. New brake pads and caliper o-rings (left one was leaking a little).
4. Modified airbox slightly to eliminate chafing.
5. Repaired nosewheel fairing (fiberglass, bonding agent and touch up paint) around bolt holes where some ******* tried to pull the plane with a non-Vans tow bar.
6. Replaced 2 nutplates that are used to attach emp fairing. Screws broke off in nutplates and I messed them up trying to get the screws out.
7. Added a simple "clip" to secure the top cowling hinge pin. I found that it was backing itself out about 4 inches while in flight.
8. BEST of ALL. Moved into new airpark home and hanger. Eagle Neck Airpark near Shellmans Bluff, Georgia.

I did all the other normal inspection items and everything checked out.
Not a bad list for an airplane built in the garage and flys better than anything else I've ever flown. I love this airplane.
