-
Match drill the forward wing reinforcement angle and countersink as needed.

-
Aerosport power made a typo on the dataplate, my engine is an O-360-A1A, but they listed it as 160 HP. That is not correct, they confirmed that it was 180 HP and sent me a new dataplate. Remove old dataplate.

-
Drain the crap oil I've been using and replace it with my brake in oil (so I can label the dip stick).

-
Recharge the dessicant plugs.

-
Test the LSE wiring per plans - a big spark across coils A and B at the appropriate crank positions.

-
Install the 100 break in oil.

-
Reminder to finish labeling the dipstick - I have kinda crummy marks running down from 8 qt to 2 qt.

-
Install this STCed oil quick drain. I've verified the cowl doesn't come anywhere near it.

-
Clamp one of the push controls to the subpanel to make things a little bit stiffer.

-
Crummy photo of my dipstick markings, I used a tubing cutter to mark each of the lines.
