Brief Description:  Set up for engine install work

This entry has zero time because for the last few days I have only done household chores or research on engine installations and organizing the garage. I had a refrigerator in the garage go out about a year ago but could not get it out because the plane was n the way. Well now that the plane is on the wheels and movable I bought a used refrigerator to replace the old one. This is just used for extra freezer space and a place for beer and soda. You never know what you will get a no-notice hospitality check!

While at it I moved stuff around and lined up the hoist and engine on the stand. I need to use the hoist to hold the engine up close to the mount to get an idea on where to run cables and hoses. The plans are a good place to start but I have an aftermarket fuel injections system so the plans don’t help me. It is a system made by Air Flow Performance, if you are reading this and a builder you more than likely have hear of them.

Plan of attach now:

Finalize the cables and other firewall items.
Rivet on top skin top skin
Finish fitting the canopy fairing
Fiberglass in the windscreen
Then hang the engine.
