Default Annual Inspection Checklist

Well....it's been a fantastic year and I have loved every moment of the 165hrs put on my RV in its first year. At the end of November it will be time to take her down for the first annual.

It would be great to follow a checklist to be sure I get everything covered and while doing the first one, take the list and customize it to my plane. Would any of you care to share your annual inspection checklists?

Thanks in advance.

Default I got you covered!

Here comes a checklist I use for annuals. The only thing it does not have on it is fuel injectors. Make sure you check the lines for a max bend radius of 5/8 inch on the inside of the bend(lyc). Also... if you put the injectors in a cleaner like they use for jewelry (electrosonic) then don't let the cleaner material come in contact with any water. Also on the injector, make sure you don't drop any small parts out of the injector or the fuel pressure gauge will act like it's a pinched line. On a cautious note, I always have someone double check my work even though I hold the IA ticket, I hope everyone else does the same.... If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have for free.
PS.... If anybody else wants the checklist, I email it for free!
Best
