 Put fuel in the left tank this morning.
 We have fuel pressure.
 No leaks with feed fuel rail.

 That's pretty cool!  Close to start-up I assuem?  Maybe tomorrow.  I will
 plan on getting there around 11 if that is OK.  There has been a marine
 layer and I want to go surfing in the morning.

 Bring a brake bleed fitting with you. One is missing.
 Unless of course I can buy one in the auto parts store.

 Engine started right up on one or two blades. The B computer is still
 flakey,
 The A computer runs fine. This is after at least a year of sitting around
 in
 various hangars around the country. Runs rough on the full rich starting
 switch but I assume that is normal.

 Robin wants to get insurance before we fly so we can't fly it yet.
 We can taxi :)

 All fairings and wing tips are still off for your inspection.

 Looks like Robin is showing her superior reasoning powers.

Bah!!  Insurance aint worth what you pay.  But there is no rush either.

It will need an annual inspection signed off by Robin before we fly as well.

Dave and Doug flew in from Oceanside today and inspected the RV4. We had a few squawks to fix. Dave ran it up and checked the instruments. It is very close to air worthy. Now comes the FAA and insurance paper battle. It runs very smooth on
computer A but B remains to be seen.

Here are some pictures. We have a couple of movies so I may put one
of them on Youtube. Too big to upload.
