This week we have been working hard to get N4790U finished so that we can do the first run of the new IO-550-N and then take it on its first flight here in Kenya. Things have been progressing well and we have taken care of some small items here and there that need to be fine tuned. We also took it to be weighed and will be doing the final fuel tests tomorrow. Here's some pics!
Jerry Hurd doing some final touches on the control yoke carry through cables.
Sitting in the doorway, almost ready.
Looking good.
That really is a nice looking engine.
Getting ready to go down to Phoenix Aviation to be weighed. We had to tow it down because we only put unusable fuel in it...just like the POH says.
On the scales at Phoenix. That's level flight attitude...how the airplane actually moves through the sky.
In the doorway at Phoenix. All the mechanics at Phoenix had to come over and inspect this sweet looking 206. AIM AIR was paid a good complement when one of the upper level engineers said that all of our airplanes always look so nice, that we always keep them well maintained.
On the way back to AIM AIR. Godfrey was our driver.
