As the description says I spent two hours synching the carbs. This turned out to be a bit more difficult than I imagined. Once I got one side set, it would change the vaccuum value on the other side. After going back and forth for a while I got both idles set, and then as soon as I started running it up other 'issues' popped up. Not a big deal, just frustrating. After a few times back and forth I got it all worked out. I then ran the motor for quite a while to check on the leaks I've been chasing. I was able to ID and stop the fuel leak, which was coming from the fuel pressure regulator. I also figured out that the coolant leak that I thought was the overflow bottle is actually coming from the radiator. I don't know specifically where yet, but I'll find it.
I also got the flap actuator horn put into place, drilled, tapped, etc. Once I got the whole thing assembled I was able to figure out the point I ID'd was correct and that the sensor worked perfectly once I reversed the polarity to indicate correct track direction. I also had to reverse the leads on the flap motor to get it to track correctly.
All of the above mentioned items that I did to the flaps I also had to do to the elevator trim motor. That was a bigger pain as a result of the fairing of course.
Now both the trim and the flaps move correctly, and indicate correctly!
Approx two hours was spent fitting the pylon side-cover. I created a paper template by taping lots and lots of pieces of paper into position and then comparing it to the lines PA drew on the sheet aluminum. I took the more conservative of the two lines and cut it out using the tin snips. After lots of trial and error I got the thing put into place. The project was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I will hold it in place. I'm still leaning towards screwing one side and pop riveting the other. Norm suggested just pop riveting the whole darn thing since they drill out so easily. We'll see.
