Another day and tackling several different aspects of the build, hoping to get it ready to move to the hangar soon.
I started out with the help of N to get the brakes bleed. After doing a little research online and EAA videos I chose to bleed the brakes using an oil can and hand pumping the fluid from the bottom up. This worked out fairly well. It took a little work getting air bubbles to completely resolve through the cylinders, but it was accomplished. Overall it worked out better than I imagined. And no visible leaks found so far.
I then installed the batteries on the ELT remote and audio alert. The remote was then installed in the panel.
The canopy light was installed. The fuel tank was installed along the the neck. The plans called for fuel sealant to be placed between the neck and the turtle skin, so fuel sealant was mixed and placed prior to setting the screw of the fuel neck.
Time: 4 hrs
