Adventures in Annual round 2

[Yetti]

The professional came over and checked the over link tension.  What I kind of don't like about the annual process is the time spent on some things.  If you really wanted to go though the plane good, I could see a month. I don't think anyone would want to pay that.   Same thing with PPI.  Sure there are problem areas to check, but the problem are may not be the one that gets you.  Other than the wing root fuel lines, They should all be 2 year old lines.

something you don't see everyday.   Things I learned.  The rear gear rod only travels about 7 inches to get the mains down.   A little over a minute to crank the gear down.  Once it gets tight on cranking the gear down.  Crank a little more to get it over center.

and don't freak out the big bolt was tightened, checked and rechecked.  The videoing was done to check all was good before we finished up.
