Brief Description:  Minor details

I checked the pitot system for leaks by attaching a 1/4" ID latex hose to the pitot tube. I rolled up the open end of the hose, putting pressure on the system, and clamped the hose when the airspeed read about 170 MPH. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and I didn't see any drop in airspeed, indicating the pitot system doesn't have any leaks.

Since the various engine limits are marked on the glass of the Westach instrument, I added a piece of white tape on the glass and a corresponding piece on the bezel. If the glass happens to rotate for some reason it will be obvious because the white marks would no longer line up.

Added the N-number to the vertical stabilizer.

Put some heavy duty "Gorrila" duct tape along the seam of the firewall and the windshiled retainer strip to seal any minor gaps that might let CO into the cockpit from forward of the firewall.

Crimped Molex connector pins on the pigtails of the wingtip lights.

Used some JB Weld to glue the right wingtip light retainer nuts in place. Just a convenience since the nuts are accessible by removng the wingtip if they need to be held while tightening the light mounting screws.
