Well, I’ve taken a little break on the microcontroller stuff for the RV-6 autopilot because the plane needed a little love. It’s been flown 50+ hours since Cedric and I bought it in February, 2010 and there was some maintenance that needed to be done before a trip to Tennessee.
We took the cowling off, changed the oil, re-wired some of the electronic ignition, re-sealed the right fuel tank, cleaned up some of the wiring, replaced the fuel filters, re-plumbed some of the vacuum lines, and a couple other things. We worked every evening from about 17:30 until about 23:00.
In the end we were able to complete all the necessary work in three evenings of work and the plane was ready to go by the 3rd of July.
