290.6 tach hours - Oil Change

290.6 Tach hours

These oil changes are getting pretty easy now.  Very little mess.  Cut filter open and inspected media - no debris or metal found.

the cleanest  change yet ;)

Trailing edge of upper gear leg fairings

When I initially fabricated the upper intersection fairings they were pretty close fitting but after paint they were splayed out a bit on the trailing edge.  I ignored them but it has been an issue that has been simmering thoughts of doing something... since then I have been noticing how other similar aircraft address this and found that they were attached with a screw and nut on a local extra 300.  

Today I was noticing a bit of a squeaky chaffing sound during taxi and chased it down to the gear fairing on the right side where the inside tab has broken allowing quite a bit of movement.  I decided to fix the pieces at the intersection by adding an attachment on the trailing edge. this really cleans things up and i should have done this earlier...

added a screw to join the trailing edge of the upper gear leg fairing with the gear leg fairing 

I might end up painting these screw heads
