It's hard to believe nearly another two months has passed. And I bet I have spent more than 50 hours during this period, but I didn't record the details. I have spent time doing these (and probably other tasks that I cannot remember).
* Installed a video cable and camera bracket in the cockpit, so that I can shoot video looking forward at the instrument panel.
* Updated the Dynon software to V5.4 This has all been backed up via the USB plug to my laptop. I have also downloaded and analysed all telemetry information captured to date by the Dynon.
* Conducted several taxi trials, to record Ts and Ps, and to test the brakes. I now know the speed at which the nose comes off the deck! Each trial the right brake ended up fading, particularly from the passenger side. I have spent hours bleeding the system, and each time noted that air is getting into the system. Initially fluid leaked out, so I obtained some Loctite 567, recommended by Matco, and resealed all the unions. Now air leaks in without fluid leaking out. I suspect a duff master cylinder so I removed the suspect cylinder - with considerable difficulty. I have no idea how I will reinstall it or a replacement. Vans are sending one to me.
* Fabricated a third landing light lens, and fitted that along with a refit of the repaired/returned landing light.
* Installed tyre creep marks in a fetching shade of bright yellow nail varnish ;-)
