log 79

Another amazing time while working on the glasair project. Between all the discussions getting ready to get sign off inspections, electrical cert and others, I went to Arizona to visit family and friends, and get a little tailwheel training at Chandler Air Services in a Piper Super cub. The super cub isn't exactly like the glasair but any tailwheel training is good, and flying with Matt and Clark taught me a few new things and good practice. Sorry to the friends I didn't get to visit down there.

Besides this, about another 12 hours working on the glasair:
Safety wires and provisions on flaps, complete. Flap linkages, complete and checked. The compass is not required for experimental VFR but I added a data plate to calibrate it once flight test is started. Had to cut a few special screws for the compass. Completed the door latches, both sides finished. Firewall penetration is closed for large hole. I will have to do the others also. Header tank drain valve redone to make more permanent and in a good location. New photos starting here in the photo album.
