The flying wires are now painted, ending the marathon of painting this year. I hate spraying enamel, largely because I suck at it. This time didn’t turn out too badly. No runs, but it’s not quite as smooth a coat as I’d like. Definitely better than it was and hopefully properly priming the flying wires will cause the enamel to actually, you know, stick this time.

I need to do a full power run-up to make sure that the fuel pressure is still adjusted properly (adding the fuel flow could theoretically reduce flow) and also adjust the generator output. Now that I have a voltmeter, I can see that the generator’s been setup a bit hot, which isn’t great for the battery. Hopefully won’t take too long, then it’s time to fly!
