Inspection tomorrow, first flight some point thereafter. I still have another session of transition training to go. I'm also still trying to figure out my transmit issues with my Dynon COM. I'm down to either the antenna or ground plane. An appointment with the radio shop is forthcoming.
I had Derek, Bill and Pete come by and take a look. We found and fixed several items. I added some torque seal on various bolts/nuts, redid a few zip ties on the EGT/CHT lines, put a thinner washer on an aileron bellcrank bolt to get the required threads showing, opened up the trim wiring hole in the elevator to fix some light binding/scraping on the snap bushing that exits the aft HS spar, and redid some safety wiring.
I was pulling out some of the covers in the cabin for inspection and caught a slight whiff of avgas. Found this!
The connections on the fuel filter from EFII aren't that great since you have to tighten down the brass nut to squeeze on the underlying rubber washer/gasket. I obviously didn't have this side tight enough. I'll be switching this out soon to something more secure (and a filter that is cleanable). Any recommendations on better fuel filters?
Paperwork is all done, and logbooks filled out! Wish me luck. I hope to follow up this post with a picture of me holding a pink slip.
