A very busy week. At one point on Saturday we had three projects going at once in the hangar. The Rans S-12XL continues to demand some of our attention, but we still managed to accomplish some important things on the Cessna. Our A&P/IA came to look at our stabilizer bracket issue. He determined that the problem was our rivet gun wasn't powerful enough. He will return with a different rivet gun to finish the job at some point. In the meantime, we continued to work toward getting the plane on its gear and getting wings ready for paint. A part on the nose gear was lightly machined to make it round to fit and the gear was mostly assembled with all new O-rings and hardware. We decided to replace the old gascolator assembly with a new and better “Steves Gascolator” STC. We ran into a problem in that the bracket that adapts the new gascolator to the Cessna's firewall fitting doesn't fit. We've been in communication with the manufacturer, but they've been little help. Stay tuned on that one. In order to send the wings up to get painted, we decided it would be best to fit and drill the new Horner wingtips in advance so that we don't scratch new paint later. We also got new tips for all of the tail surfaces so some of them were fitted as well.
