Trim Tab - 0.5 hours (480 Total)

Since I had one rivnut left, I decided to use it on my trim tab cable.

The instruction manual only calls out to mount the trim tab cable in one location but they provided an extra rivnut and hose clamp. The hose clamps Rans provided are not used anywhere else so I assume Rans intended for two of them to be used on the trim cable. Putting one mount on the elevator and the other on the stabilizer keeps the cable from rubbing on fabric when the elevator is raised.

Oil Vent - 0.5 hours (479.5 Total)

I also installed my oil vent hose. This required me to install a rivnut into the top former to hold the oil vent tube in an arch. The HKS installation manual required 100mm (~4") of arch above the oil tank; my installation has about 11 inches.

I still need to find some hose clamps and secure the hose with some wire ties.

Window Trimming - 0.25 hours (479 Total)

I was also planning to install some of the foam rubber seals to fill the gap between the wings and the top former tube. Unfortunately, Rans didn't provide any foam for this. I will need to order some from them.

I did notice the window edge could use some more trimming. I used my Dremel tool to round the Lexan edge so it won't damage the wing fabric. The other side doesn't have this issue.

Door Seals - 0.25 hours (478.75 Total)

Today I placed the foam rubber seals around the door. I was planning to wait until I was at Daniels to do this but I'm bored.
