Propeller Installation on CMA

 Last week we got the prop installed on CMA, along with some other things.  It has been a very productive couple weeks on the airplane, as there wasn't much else going on in the shop. Things have been moving along with the progress, which is good.  The airplane needs to fly soon!

 All cleaned and ready to go!

 Torque it up, and she's ready to go!  Well...not ready to go, but getting closer!

 With a new engine comes new baffle seals...which, in this case, rub the cowlings a bit different than the old baffle seals.  So in this picture, I am making sure the baffle seals are fitting snugly all the way around the engine and cowling.  It's a good think I have long arms...I can just reach to the rear baffle seal.
