I haven't done any work on the plane all winter because I really need an engine to continue. But I had drilled the flaperon control arms so decided to reinstall them. Problem. I had mislabeled the inboard parts and caught my mistake and installed them correctly. But was the outer arm marked "R", for example, also mislabeled? I gambled that they were, although I did check to see that each is compatible with the other. We'll see when the wings go back on.
Van's issue a service bulletin to replace the nose gear. So I've ordered that at $325. Swell. With the tax return, I may have enough -- mostly -- for an engine.
