Since I had the aft baggage wall out to adjust the ADAHRS, I took the opportunity to inspect all of the elevator linkages and relubricate them. I then vacuumed out the entire fuselage. Despite doing this thoroughly before first flight, there was an amazing amount of debris including a large number of small metal particles from the drilling operation when assembling the fuselage. I have no idea where these particles were hiding when I earlier cleaned out the fuselage. I then reinstalled the aft baggage wall and all of the interior.
Before reinstalling the cowl, I adjusted the prop RPM again to hopefully get pretty close to 2700 RPM. I also wrapped the fuel flow sensor with some extra thick fire sleeve and some safety wire. It’s not the prettiest wrap job, but I’ll redo it if works.
