Brief Description: Riveted Stab Doubler, Ran engine
We finished riveting the stab doubler, both sides. Waiting on the piano hinge to finish drilling and riveting both hinge additions. Today we intended on taxiing for the first time. We added some Permatex P14 to seal the main pump at the copper ring. We noticed a small leak there on the last run and unfortunately it continued today. Called Ray at UL and he suggested that we heat the copper ring with a propane torch, red hot, and then drop in water. He said that would anneal the ring and make it softer. We will try that.
