The close of April saw the engine compartment nearing completion, with a few extra touches thrown in for good measure. The tail feathers are all mounted, new control cables installed, and all work in the tail section and on the wings complete. Nearly all the work from here on out is in the cockpits and we're looking to get the plane back in the air in mid-May.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Nose case breather with hose attached that will port at the bottom of the firewall. This keeps the engine compartment clean during any unloaded aerobatics.
We decided to polish the metric fittings in the engine compartment to compliment the other work here. Khera, our Director of Maintenance, said "this is the most beautiful firewall forward we've ever done." I'd have to agree!
CONTROL SURFACES
Tail feathers installed....bell cranks stripped, inspected, and primered, and all new hardware used on the installation.
