I estimated 15 or 20 hrs on this rudder pedal assembly movement forward. It's continuing. Since last post, 9/24, I've spent about 3hrs/day+weekends=30hrs lately on everything. Milestone yesterday was to get in the plane, with pedals connected, seat bulkhead, rudder pedals/brakes assembled and feel the new configuration!! I want to say thanks to Brian Jensen, Jim Hoskinson and Kurt Hartzog for helping get a few tough bolts in. I still have to:
Smaller springs for pedals, test clearances/deflections (two person job) & adjust, cut out old rib supports with grinder, move brakeline on firewall, cotter pins, connect tension pedal stops already installed, and possibly grind right brake cylinder clearance as required.
Also in work, fuel lines, flap end closures/fit check and other work. New hangar heater works OK. Fuel line is done but pulled firewall to fuel switch, re-routed. Will install fabricated line when brakes complete.
