L-17A Navion Annual Completed - Flown Back to Gillespie

Justin finished the annual inspection on the L-17A. He found the mixture set extremely lean which was causing the backfiring on engine start and taxiiing. Also the gas colator had the wrong gasket. He also rebuilt both main landing gear struts so they move freely now. Good job Justin. The plane flew great back into the low overcast over Ramona, which LUCKILY had not extended to Gillespie which was clear. Justin had kept the towbar, so the Navion is back on the ramp, vs in the new hangar. (Justin now has the T-34, T-28, and L-17 tow bars ;-)
