Log 69

It's been a cold week. Not much done for a few days. Today, Steve Alford and I flew for around an hour, then to the hangar to work:

- Started engine outside and tested a few issues. Proved correct positions on fuel switch, check. Found draining fuel in main tank was not from header tank but residual from fuel lines, check. Obtained a magneto timing light from Dan to time soon.

- Installed fire/heat insulation, lower cowling.

- Drilled hole in rivet (thanks Dan Thomas) for oil pressure fitting to engine to to limit hole diameter, in case of any future failure "Firewall Forward" book by Tony Bingelis, and per Chris Yeeles).

- Wiring and installation of monitor in cockpit, test and dialog with Steve.
