Put fuel in the left tank this morning.

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.

Gee Paul,

The scenery around you looks great. Still green. We had 4 1/2 feet of snow
this last winter. Then it had not even melted fully in the bush and we got
forest fires as the sap was not flowing up the trees yet. They got started in
the dry grass. Now we have had flooding in areas. Slave Lake was 1/3 burned
out and now is dealing with flooding.

The river boat races were changed here because of high water in the Athabasca
River. We got about 140 mm of rain over the weekend. At least the forest fires
are knocked down.
