Started the wheel fairings
I went down to the hangar and started working on the wheel fairings (after helping my daughter make her mother breakfast). After a few hours, the ceilings lifted to 4000′ or so. Time to fly. I didn’t have any particular agenda. I just flew around for fun for 1.5 hours. I played with the EGT leaning function on the EFIS a bit, and goofed around with the GPS a bit. I just kicked back and truly relaxed. And the big news is the heavy wing seemed to be fixed now. I did a bit more right aileron squeezing after the last flight, and that seems to have leveled things out with the magical 6 extra gallons in the right tank. I’ll probably end up tweaking it some more down the road, but it’s good enough for now.
Didn’t see any other planes the whole flight except for a possessed Cessna. I saw him a ways out, turned to avoid him, and then he made this insane sharp turn and bank like he was trying to hunt me down. I then had to evade the other direction. The only thing I can figure out is that he suddenly realized he was about to bust the SEA class B airspace and decided ramming me was a better idea. (Or more likely, he didn’t see me.) Definitely have to keep the eyes outside the cockpit.
