RV there yet?

6/9/2026 - it's a long day in awkward poses in tiny tight spaces.

6/9/2026 - third order of business is closing up the tunnel.

Which means installing any hardware that needs to be in there, making sure all screws are tightened and torqued and the tunnel is clean.

6/9/2026 - second order of the day is to give the P-Mags another run through, just to make sure we're all good.

6/8/2026 - the P-Mags work, the radio works and the panel is coming together.

6/8/2026 - we then confirm the factory setting of max (32 degrees, white LED) and min (23 degrees, blue LED).

Step 1 - confirm our engine is a right turning engine.

By turning on power to the P-Mag while the Prop is in Top Center position, it flashes white, then turns red.

6/7/2026 - after cracking some lines, the fuel flows!

And thanks to Greg's ladder concept - we can figure out fuel flow.

Turns out it's identical for the left and the right side - 66.5 gallons/hour.

6/7/2026 - testing the fuel flow requires attaching hoses and bypassing the servos, which is a project all in itself.

Once it's all connected, there should be fuel...

we even put pressure in the tank, alas nothing comes.

So we do what champions do - we ask for help

Jimmy has input, which boils down to "crack the lines and see if anything's blocking".

6/7/2026 - start the day documenting the wiring behind the panel. Have trouble getting camera play nice with the PC, but Connor helps!

Step 5: To repeat with right fuel tank, we need to take some fuel out of the left wing (we don't have 60 gallons)

Step 6: add in 2 gallon increments and confirm we can hold 30 gallons of useable fuel (plus one gallon unusable).

6/5/2026 - Step 1: Empty the left wing fuel tank, filter fuel in the process, so that any gunk that is sill in the tank can get flushed out.

Step 2: Get the Dynon ready to calibrate and enough fuel to calibrate with - each fuel tank can take 30 gallons. That's a lot of fuel.

Step 3: Add fuel in 2 gallon increments (plus 1 gallon unusable) while adding step by step until the sender maxes out

Step 4: Confirm we can put 30 gallons of useable fuel into each fuel tank - yes we can and there is still some wiggle room.
