I incorporated my first conditional inspection with new paint.
Total time = 66.5.
Plugs showed running rich. Adjusted mixture on engine.
Superior normally sends out their engine on rich side.
Replaced brake pads
Approximately 150 landings.
I suspect this was due to the long taxis from hangar & qty of landings during phase 1.
Replaced right side O-Ring on brake cylinder.
Began seeping just prior to conditional.
Fuel filter clean, no debris found.
Oil usage: 1qt oil/9 hours
Oil filter, no metal found.
Fuel usage average 7.1 gl/hour, last 25 hours using 93UL
Otherwise, all control systems and fwf was as installed.
No change, no abrasions..., clean airframe.
Back to flying over the last 3 days to test post conditional.
Glad to have it back after being grounded for the last 5 weeks to prep for paint and inspection.
I plan on doing another conditional in December to avoid having any down time during such a great time to fly here in Florida.
