My first annual (RV-8)

Yesterday I completed Contrary Mary's 1st annual condition inspection.
You can see more about it here (www.iflyblog.com), but I'll summarize below.

Findings:
Metal baffling rubbing the cowl at the #3 cylinder (just above the hinge line)
Breather tube rubbing the engine mount
Loose nut on firewall mounted ANL (alternator connection)
Cockpit side panel (right side) rubbing the flap weldment
Gear bolts - several needed to be retorqued
Compressions in the mid-70s
No metal in the oil

66 hrs on the hobbs - not as much flying as I'd like, but time and money are constrained.

Congratulations ...Fine work on her, and wishing you continued enjoyment.

One year already? Where time goes?

Have hard time to imagine how side panel could rub flap weldment. Could you post a picture please if you can?
