Builders Log #3

Moved the plane to Terry's heated hangar, Arlington Airport. Engine is on new mount. Bill, Terry and I discussed plans, reviewed hardware. I'll find a new way to post progress with some type of checklist of issues.

To add to the list of open items: Ends of horiz & vert stabilizer need capping. Need more bonding work on front of stabilizer & some aileron clean up. Need to revise NACA duct hardware from carb to injected style & cabin inlet hardware. Current battery and alternator need to be upgraded to new style. Brake lines need to be upgraded to new style (old style melts). Wingtip lights need to be cut and glass work. May need new Andair gascolator. I need to research why people like RV wheel pants over Glasiar.

Decisions: Should be obtaining Dynon D180 as EFIS and EMS systems. Autopilot will be wired but installed after first flights. All wheel fairings back on shelf till after first flight.

Terry's first review. It has a few upgrades like sliding canopies. Will be trying to work on it more.
