Wrapped-up annual and flying

Image
I looked back and realized I had never follow-up on these blog posts.  I got everything installed, and found the carb was not behaving well and needed to be rebuilt.  I also found a bad mag and replaced it with an eMag.  The eMag also failed, so I bought a new one and replaced the used one.  Flew it several times.  It's been good.

Mains bearing lube

Pulled the main wheels, pulled all the bearings, cleaned off the old grease, which actually wasn't bad, repacked the bearings with fresh grease and assembled.

It's baffling

Still need to do some trim and final fit.

Purchase

 I bought an RV3 today...  It needs work. It's in rough shape, it needs some love.  It will take some time to get it airworthy. It needs the engine baffling replaced, and the cowl needs work, but the engine is strong and in good shape.
