Brief Description:  Flt test #9 and squawks - flt = 2.57 hours T=12.76

Fiddle with calibrating ADI again...still no joy and now it cocks left again. Will need to pull out, meter pins, tighten all up and test again. Did lean find on AFS..process is simple. #1 peaked first at 1446...CHT 281 at 18.6 MP and 2500..pulled back to 100R. XM wx not showing up...will try refresh as it worked on prior flight. COM 2 still noisy.. will do isolation test next flight, but I also ordered a Comant 121 antenna for belly. Downloaded data at end... not getting EGT and CHT data for #5 and #6 - will contact AFS. CHTs still real low...high 200s, even only at 300 at EGT peak. Will proceed with closing cowl inlets in to 6"...now 7.25x7.75". AP lat and vrt activity adjustments worked great... vertical was right on at end - held altitude well on a bumpy day and held in tight turns as well. Increased LAT a bit further from the 8 I had adjsuted to, to 10. Hunt is gone... will monitor on actaul flights. Can still overcome AP with stick forces..hard but doable. Played with VOR course with AP... need to work on procedures. Got the green flight director bars but didn't seem to track VOR off of G530. Did track if I adjusted course on AFS. Need to study up a bit before next flight. Good landing. Tiny little oil leak still...evidence on rag behind filter, but none on belly. Took front 90 degree fitting off again and wound with 3 turns of yellow teflon tape - retightened. Duncan gave me some suede like material called "Pig Blanket" Wrapped it around 90 fitting with zip ties to see if we can isolate leak any further.
