I was there for a short time Tues/Wed/Fri evenings. So I did spend a few days this week at the plane cleaning the shop, organizing and reading the glasair books, addendum's, service bulletins and organizing. A step backwards on the horizontal stabilizer tips as there is a new way to build them. It's OK, but have to complete during flight test and fly without the tips per the addendum. Started going through Advisory Circular AC20-27F for Homebuilt Aircraft. Some discussion of flight test starting. This is full time work, but with a passion, all's good!
- Received all switches, panel decision weighed on new glasair panel...may not be too late.
- Ordered intercom knobs, headlight, LED tip forward/aft lights and sockets.
- Instruments sent to avionics shop for functional tests
- rear bulkhead brackets removed. New brackets made at correct angles.
- note:deviation of wingtip lenses, non-structural modern look.
Next:
- Wingtip outbd strobes in place, bond bracket & make tightfit cutout at planned location.
- Find instructions to instl completed rudder on push rod.
- Aft wingtip lens bonded.
- Oil tube clearance to engine mount plan.
- Aileron removal, balance, cap ends final. Flap, cap outbd ends & check controls.
Needed:
- flight test plan started
- research regarding saved N-numberN71SN, contact FAA
- EAA review planned - never too early
- Some brake line research regarding new brake lines. Decision btw aluminum or SS braided lines.
- Still need decision btw aluminum and new composite prop for O-320 engine, fixed pitch.
- Door latch idea's.
