Ready for taxi
After we delivered our plane to the airport, we had a jammed LH brake. After I dropped the question at the KRnet website they came with an easy solution. Release a bit brake fluid at the jammed brake and the problem should be solved. It did work! The KR community and the support we gave each other is great!
So the wings are assembled.
All the bolts with a torque seal. So it is later easier to inspect for lose bolts.
Because we stored the wings in boxes we couldn’t paint the registration, so the best way do it was afterwards.
Finished.
My test pilot advised me, not to install the wheel fairing for the first few flights. That is why we removed the nose gear fairing, and did the torque seal. After a few taxi tests we found a bit play in the bolt that hold the fork at the tube. We installed a hi-lock at 90 degr from the nas bolt. Afterwards the strange rattling noice was gone.

After about 8 hours taxi time and a few highspeed tests it is time for final inspection.
So we changed the oil,
Checked and cleaned the fuel filter.
Newest Garmin software installed and the updates of all maps. ( Thanks Bart )
Fuel system calibration.
I think ready to go
