Well Guys I finished up just about every detail that I can think of to
delay flying 357CJ this morning. I did get a few minutes to take her out
for a couple taxi runs. The engine is running great after the
installation of the nitride crank shaft. The timing is set, prop is
indexed, and the run out on the hub is not to be found. The Microair
transceiver came back from Australia last week and is installed and
working great. Gap seals were installed this morning. The rebuild also
took care of the last of the small oil leaks that she had.
For those that don't know about the brake troubles I was having I
had built with the entire Cleveland kit that was ordered through
RandRobinson. As it turns out the nyflo tubing that is supplied with the
kit is a little to thin in wall thickness ( In My Opinion) and the brakes
would fade as the pedal pressure expanded the tubing. The new tubing is
still 1/4" O.D. but the inside is 3/16" Now I have more stopping power
and solid braking
The only thing left to do is screw up some courage!
