Hi all,
Finally picked up the airplane after an extensive annual. Six weeks later and enough money to make a Baron owner choke, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. Just a short (and incomplete) list of the things we did: 1) Propeller and governor overhaul 2) Alternator overhaul 3) New STC'd vernier mixture control to replace old friction unit 4) Field approval in progress on new custom prop cable 5) New ring gear (mates with the starter drive) 6) Repainting & resealing of the airbox, airbox support, and prop cable support. 7) New alternator / main bus circuit breaker (voluntary compliance with a Cessna service bulletin (which incidentally reduces the rating of the breaker from 60 to 55 amps) 8) New high pressure (3000 PSI) oil cooler lines 9) About 30 new rivets in various locations on the airframe. 10) Fixed a fuel tank fitting leak (necessitated draining the tank) And more, all on a WELL maintained airplane. The third and final article in my "Annual 2003" series will be online soon (probably shortly after Xmas) but until then, I put up some pics of the finished work in the gallery on my site. Happy Holidays and safe flying to everyone in the new year! -Doug -- -------------------- Doug Vetter, CFIMEIA http://www.dvcfi.com -------------------- |
