Default This Years Annual!! Oh Boy!!! :) Simi Long!

The Annual on my 150 went very well! It was a very long day yesterday, We
have the airplane mostly all sealed back up,

1, New ELT Battery Installed & Tested, & Complete
2, Repack Wheel Barings, Complete
3, Replace All Aileron Hinge Screws & Nuts, Complete
4, Check Mag's, Recommended Mags Should Be Serviced But Not Required,
Removed for Servicing!
5, Throttle Cable Housing Broken & Brittle, Need To Replace Throttle Cable
Will Order Monday Along With New Mixture Cable At Same Time Why Replace One
With Out The Other! Will Order On Monday
6, Fuel Tank Cross Vent Rubber Wing Root Tube Has Cracking Needs
Replacement! Will Order On Monday
7, Replace Vacuum Pump Filter, Complete
8, Nut Plate AD Termination Recommended, When Other Parts Arrive Will Be
Complete.
9, Oil Seepage From Oil Screen Housing, Replaced Crush Gasket Again!
10, Changed Oil & Filter, Cut & Inspected Oil Filter.
11, Since Mags Were Removed Inspected Gears In Engine All Looked Good.

12, Few other little things that are not airworthiness issues that are being
done! I left the list at the airplane!

Compressions All 76/80 or better

Annual Inspection Complete! Not many Squawks This year & nothing real
Expensive! The Parts That Are Needed Will Be Ordered On Monday And Replaced
When They All Arrive. Everything Will Be Signed Off at One Time. Any
Recommendations On Best Place To Get Control Cables? Seems Like McFarlane
Aviation Is The Place To Go.

Little Bit More Than Expected, The Throttle Cable Was A Big Surprise How Bad
It Really Was Kind Of Scared Me A Little, So Far This Annual Has Not That
Bad! Awaiting The Verdict On My Mag's, I also removed my KR 86 ADF to send
it in for service!

I like this owner assisted annual always learning! I Learned how having an
airplane in 1 climate "wet & moist" most of its life then going to another
climate "hot & dry" for a few months really reeks havoc on old rubber parts!

I Will Fill You all In Next Week!
