Finish Kit Update August 2012 Updates August 10, 2012 Final Preping for Inspection...... - 7.0 hrs Today was a long day in the heat. Kevin came over in the morning to help me get started. We double checked all the controls and made some final adjustments to the stop nuts. Kevin made me a couple of labels for the panel for a few things I still didn't have marked. Later in the day Mr. Test Pilot came over to help as well. He started removing the wing fairings as I installed the tubing from the fuel pump to direct overflow away from the exhaust pipes. I have never seen anything drip from this port but the plans say to do it and fuel on HOT exhaust cannot be good so its done now. Next we noticed I forgot to saftey wire the bolts on the brakes so that was done. Then one last taxi test. Now its time..... This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
