C-45 Annual Inspection Status

Justin has all (3) new tires and tubes on the C-45. He also removed and replaced both sets of main wheel brakes. He and Don (DC-3 Mechanic at Flabob, and now full time on the C-45 with Justin to meet the Miramar date) had to fabicate some tools to R/R the wheels and brakes. They said the brakes calipers (3 pucks each wheel) had 2 of 3 puck/cylinders FROZEN and inoperative on the left wheel. Working fine now, but a lot of work to get there. No linkage for the RE gear door can be found so I might be flying without the RE inner gear door for a while. Repairs were made to the LE exhaust shrouding, and the LE engine driver fuel pump (leaking). New ELT battery. Probably need a new Gill battery for the left wing as it seems toast but the right wing battery is still good. Shooting for Wedensday pm pick up and flight to Gillespie and then on to Miramar for Media Rides and Static Display.
