Parts, Documentation, Rudder Bar Mounts
Category: Fuselage
Inventoried Aircraft Spruce and Airline Hydraulics parts that arrived today.
Checked rudder bar mounting bolts and realized not enough threads were showing on the two bolts on the right side. Changed top and bottom washers to AN960-10L and retorqued. Marked all 6 nuts with torque seal.
Updated maintenance manual with Andair o-ring part numbers, details on rudder bar spacers, brake caliber potential alternate o-rings, some Van's part numbers and other information. Added a new section for Canopy modifications with Supertrack Canopy Track Extension. Started a new summary section of modifications for a quick way to identify changes.
Not included in hours... Picked up some supplies for fiberglass work from Harbor Freight (electrical tape, 2" chip brushes, "bondo" spreaders, non-powdered nitrile gloves).
