Pre Annual Checks

Next annual is due mid July and the Pernit October

Time to review things and catch up on a few small niggles. The problem, now she’s flying, is you dont want down time .. pop up to the field and think .. ill do that bit later .. just fly her now ..

Its been great to get loads of landings and circuits in this year plus a few fly aways so its good to get all these checks done, albeit a few have been done as i go ..this brings it all together

There aren’t standard annual maintenance schedules per se but the LAA produce a useful 150 hour , 12 month checklist, so im using that plus adding some bits ..like dihedral and incidence checks

Nice to be 0.25 degree out .. but balanced .. so maybe just the floor or wayshe was sitting

Then deflections…Elevator … Aileron and Rudder

Up aileron

Down aileron

Bungees..check for movement and condition..this one was knly replaced recently post smoke baby oil wetting
