While the Rans continued to demand attention, some signifiant progress has nonetheless been made on the Cessna in the last couple of weeks. The wings, tail feathers, and some other parts were sent to the paint shop in Pennsylvania. We also started installing insulation between the panel and the firewall. We are using 3M 4014 Sound Dampening panels. They are self adhesive and go under the glare shield and along the sides of the boot cowl area. More will go inside the wing root area and inside the doors. Another on-going project is the electrical system. New solenoids were installed on the firewall and battery box. After much trial and error, the new STC gascolator was also finally secured in place. Finally, this weekend the process of getting the Cessna back on its gear was begun. With some effort, the main gear legs are mostly installed. The large snap rings on the upper legs are awaiting a different tool to install. Meanwhile, the nose gear was bolted in place and work was begun on installing the new Cleveland brakes. She should be finally sitting on her own gear soon.
