I got tired of picking up the plane and putting back on the dolly at least once each day I moved it in the garage, so I built version 2. There were really two problems, the wheels would interfere with each other causing the dolly to stop rolling and the Searey wheel would turn and cause it to flip out. So, I built a larger dolley that seems to work much better.
Finished routing heater hose, connecting hose, protecting hose, sealing and riveting pilon on pilot side. Reworked baggage compartment shelving for heater hose routing, also found the reason that the elevator had been stiff, the bolt where the horn and the yoke for the stick connect was a little tight. Relaxed the pressure a little and wha-la, much better and easier movement. That was bothering me, so I'm glad I found it. I still have to put in the bushings that I bought in those controls anyway...
Tomorrow is my solo - long cross country. 176 miles from Spinks to Graham to Stephenville back to Spinks. Should be a good day for flying...
