Almost 12 hours in the hangar today. Lots of small tasks to be done before bringing out the scales.
First was solving the non-running fuel pump. It turned out that I had not connected the ground, very embarrassing! Fixed that, and performed the fuel flow test as an easy way to get out the fuel from the tanks. Result, it takes just short of 23 seconds to deliver one liter. That is over 156 l/h or more than 41 gallons per hour!
Most things moved along great, one nutplate in the wheel fairings decided to give up and capture the screw. had to drill it out and put in another nutplate.
As I had done the measurements and tested for leveling the AC, the actual test was done in a very short time frame.
