Today was Hot, Hot, Hot. In fact too hot. I had planned to flush the fuel lines before the first engine run but it didn’t quite work like that. I wanted Ian to be around to check for issues as I started the engine just in case. However Ian was delayed so I got on and did the placards and labels.
When Ian arrived we started to carry out the control surface deflection adjustments but it was just too hot so we will re-engage tomorrow.
I’ve used an Inkjet printer to print on an inkjet transparent sticky backed labels. This was suggested by Alan Radford after I saw his Bristell panel and label. They have worked much better than I expected. As they are transparent they’re not so unsightly as some I’ve seen. The yellow one in the middle was supplied by the LAA.The centre console with the labels applied for the throttle quadrant and various controls.The switches and circuit breaker labels were printed using a electronic Demo LableMaker 200 with Black on Transparent tape. It works very well but there is a limit on how long it can print at one time so I had to do it in two passes. Also it’s quite tricky getting the spacing right so I needed to adjust the spacing after printing the first time and then print again. A little wasteful but it worked out ok,These are supplied by the LAA FOC so it would be silly not to use them.
