I brought the newly painted cowl back to the airport and yes, it looks way more badass in olive drab than pink. \u00a0I also took care of some things that have been bothering me for a while but never got around to doing. \u00a0 I re-did the cotter pin on the prop pitch control on the quadrant because I’d forgotten to put a washer between the pin and the lever. \u00a0 This is now fixed. \u00a0 The left control stick now has a cotter pin as well.<\/p>\n
After that it was the endless tedium of safety-wiring a bunch of hose clamps and other fittings. \u00a0 I hate safety wire, but I can’t argue the fact that it can keep you from having a really interesting day. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I think I got most everything on the right side. \u00a0 I’ll do the left side next time.<\/p>\n
I also need to make an appointment with Randy to get my avionics calibrated, but I’ll have to wait until Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
