More little stuff
Took care of a few more things on the list. My order from Vans arrived, so I put the final two bolts in the wing spar web and put the final hinge pin in the flaps. I secured the flap hinge pins in the middle with some safety wire.
I made a little bracket and used an adle clamp to secure the canopy release.
I found a better set up for testing the pitot and static systems. A recent article in Kitplanes had a table that showed inches of water versus airspeed. Both the AFS unit and the analog gauge are right on the money. I tried several readings up to 100 knots, and they were all within 1-2 knots.
Testing the static system wasn’t as easy. I have a table of inches of water versus altitude, but haven’t found out a way to verify the numbers yet. I did verify there are no leaks in the system.
Chris stopped by again, as did Jim. I spent a while shooting the breeze about RVs. Always enjoy that.
I can’t even remember the other things I took care of, but it’s all little stuff at this point. Before I left I put a little bit of JB Weld under the front of the canopy fairing where the fiberglass lifted up a tiny bit. I weighted it down with some rivets in a baggie.
