On this early start I completed what I think is the last item in the engine bay: sealing a couple of firesleeve ends<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/WbZ2Wk\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4071\/35567558331_1c65fe6b0f_c.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sealing firesleeve\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also added a clamp to the fire return hose for good measure, though that silicone tape is unlikely to break or give a gap.

the return of the out of focus pic of the week).<\/p>\n<p>Going through the 154 point check list, I am down now to just a couple of items, all engine related:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>brake pad condition (so not really to do with the engine, but needs the engine on to do it)<\/li>\n<li>Mag check (I did one today at 3000rpm and the drops were ok, but needs to be done at 4000)<\/li>\n<li>More time on the engine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and all the required paperwork, I am way behind getting that together.<\/p>\n<p>But the application paperwork is now all into the FAA so once they have approved the inspection, I can set a date with Matt to come out and show me what a death trap I&#8217;ve built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a four day weekend for me but that
