Brief Description: Fixed problems from first taxi and did second taxi
Dean and I went right down the list of issues we had with the first taxi. The return hose problem turned out to be the nut and the check valve was not tight. The fire sleeve which appeared bubbled before dried out and is tight on the hose. We ran the engine and the return hose did not leak. We, in fact, had no leaks. We used lithium grease and applied it to the nose gear. Seemed to get rid of the squeaks we heard during the first taxi. Next, we loosened and then removed the AN5 bolt on the right side of the nose wheel axle. We inserted two large washers as spacers and then discovered we needed a longer bolt. We had one, an AN5-6A which we inserted along with two Norloc washers under the bolt head. We did same on other bolt and then torqued them both to 10 Ft/lbs. We then started the engine and taxied to the fuel pump where we added 8 gallons to each tank. The engine ran great and we had no issues with the taxi. We did discover that the compass rose on the Dynon Skyview HDX is not moving. This may require a call to Dynon.
