Music: Easy 90’s

Well the best laid plans as they say… however with the weight and balance carried out yesterday meant my downfall today. Everything needed to be on the aircraft for it to be weighed however I forgot to ask Ian and Pete to help me take the canopy off. So I arrived to realise that I couldn’t do any of the things I had planned for today as I couldn’t get into the cockpit 😦 Usually people come and go during the day but no one turned up until around 3! So a very short day today.

Up first was the calibration of the fuel tank sensors. This took longer than it should have done as I didn’t finish the process quite right on the first pass so needed to drain the tank and start again.

The calibration screen…
I used a screen wash container that I had filled to the 5 litre mark and then filled that for each calibration point. The process was quite straightforward. Press start, pour in 5 litres of fuel, press ‘Add’ and repeat 12 times on the last fill press ‘Full’ except on the last fill you need to press ‘Add’ then press ‘Full’ Silly me got that wrong so…
I had to drain out the tanks and start again! Eventually I finished it. The port wing will have to wait for tomorrow.
