Heat wraps are on the exhaust. Will need to run and heat the exhaust to burn off the coating. Taxiing down for fuel should get them hot. Need to add approximately 14 gallons of 100LL.
Checked and tightened the terminal strip screws for the VPX, firewall grounds. Need to check the ones near the EMS220/hell hole area.
Put the cowls back on.
Reclocked the prop from 1/7 to 3/9 since there was still exhaust smudge on one blade. My safety wire skills needed the refresher. Only had to redo a pair of bolts three times.
Fuel Flow - 64000 pulses per gallon was changed to 48000.
Moved the foot pegs from the 2nd to last hole to the last hole and put higher seat cushion and thicker back cushion pads in. Edit-the bolt/foot peg snagged the side of the nose where I'd made a cheek to accommodate forward rudder travel. Found this on the next engine start when I put the brakes on hard.
Made some notes for additions to the start up/running procedure to verify the injectors are firing off either ECU, the O2 controller's power is on and the SDS screen is in one of the gauge modes.
The flight test cards will be updated with reminders to use the heading and altitude bugs.
After taking off on the next flight, the compass will be calibrated by flying two 360's in opposite directions. Note if the right roll tendency has improved with adjusting the aileron torque tube to lower the right aileron trailing edge approximately .05". The rudders are fully returning inboard now. Previously, the right one would stick a little due to the machined clevis on the brake master cylinder's piston. The left one seemed to stick out less than 1/2" occasionally that I attributed to some paint runs/drips under the hinges. Apparently the heat and use has made it operate normally now.
I dialed up a local VOR on the IFD540 to see if it picks it up on the next flight.
