Propeller torqued

The propeller is torqued, this part was easy, getting the safety wire in place took forever! I also got my SB parts delivered, I ordered them on Monday so that was amazingly quick :)

Propeller Wrench

Got a new tool delivered. This will make it easy to reach and torque the prop. Now I just need to ensure I have the correct torque values and do the correction calculation.

I also marked the pins for the bottom cowl.

Prop&Spinner done

Nutplates

Spinner attachment

Drilling the holes for the nut plates that will be used to attach the spinner. Both boys helping out in the shop today :)

 

Lots of tinkering

Many different tasks done. Had to wait for darkness to be able to se the holes thru the spinner.

More spinner and tail light

I did not want to end the engine storage so I have not moved the propeller yet. This is taking a chance since it means that I might have drilled the spinner in a way that it wobbles. We will see later on.

Spinner and tail nav/strobe

Pictures not in order as I used the Canon first and then the GoPro. First I made the spinner gap fillers, then I found some already bent scrap aluminium to make the backing plates.

And finally in the evening I went back to rudder/OP58 and finished the tail light attachment. I had made the mistake of drilling with #40 instead of #43 so I could not use the planned screws for attachment. Today I found some suitable screws and could finish the physical installation. I will probably make the electrical connections tomorrow.

As I am at least nearing the end of the build I have started to think about what else needs to be done, one thing is to be in better shape. So today I started with some "boxersize" and a long walk. I hope to have lost about 10 kg by the end of the summer.

Prop

With some help it was easy to get the prop mounted. I then continued with working on the spinner.
