Couple of notes from my annual

In for annual right now...snag list isn't too bad. Couple of things I didn't expect though:
  1. Front exhaust pipes badly corroded and simply wore out. Replacing both.
  2. Both gascolators have very brittle plunger tips and corrosion on the standpipes. The brittle is age, but the corrosion means that the fuel has had water in it at some point. Scary.

So far the rest has been standard "old airplane" stuff.

Update...brake discs are below minimum measurements. That's fair I guess, our birds are pretty heavy.

FYI, Cleveland discs are almost 50% more money than the Rapco discs. I'm purchasing Rapcos.

I checked and there's no stock in Canada, I had to go ahead with the Rapco's.
