Week 2, Day 3 - Ed Goes It Alone Today

I am on my own with the CAC crew today, as Dave had to go back home on business. I worked on the final closeout of the left wing, installing the auxiliary fuel pump, inspection door flanges, and both wing root and tip ribs. I then completed the rudder stop installation and adjusted the travel for the required 25 degree deflection.

Additionally, I then installed the oil cooler. After some modification to the fire wall (installing a stainless steel dog dish to allow for rear prop governor clearance) we installed the engine and prop.
“Whew” Sure will be glad when Dave gets back Thursday.
