Justin went through the fuel system on Tuesday, found some leaks and repaired those. On Wednesday he went through the brake system and rebuilt the leaking master cylinders, greatly improving braking! Today he has been fixing leaks in the hydraulic system and rebuilt the hrdraulic relief valve. Next he has obtained a new pulley and spring and is finishing the canopy release / opening hardware. I think that is it, and we can go get the Navion (finally after 9 months at Riverside) and will swap it with the C-45 to start its annual inspection, getting everything ready for the Miramar Airshow. Getting the maintenance done was more important than pushing it to get the L-17 ready for the Mather Air Capital Airshow which we were scheduled for (would have left Friday with Warren). So Sat / Sun we will swap planes in the hangar!
