Brief Description: Upper Gap Seal angles
|
|
I had delayed installing the upper gap seal angles because it necessitating taking the wings off. They hadn't been installed much earlier because the four small pieces didn't come in the original delivery from Progressive Aerodyne and I didn't know they were required until reading through the manual much later. Fortunately PA was very responsive to my complaint and shipped them without charge (for the parts, the shipping was still expensive!).
It was a struggle getting the wings off, with a few minor crashes and bangs, not helped by a long spell of wind, wet, and nasty weather. It took eight sessions spread over most of two months, assisted by Elayne and Sebastian, and my brother, Doug, to get all this work done.
The wing removals and re-intalls aside the four angle pieces went on easily enough and I was able to use the opportunity with the wings off to organize, bundle, and secure all the wiring, hoses, etc netween the top of the pylon and the engine.
