Default Annual Off to a Good Start

My first annual with this airplane is in May.

"Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall
fear no evil..."

:-)

We wrapped ours up today. Buttoned everything back up, and then
started on all the stupid little cosmetic things that drive ya nuts
over time, but don't usually get addressed. So, I spent a few
hours...

....replacing corroded interior screws and washers.
....repainting the flap handle and flap handle housing.
....applying new wing-walk. (Now THERE is a cheap high...)
....fixing the wing root rubber that was gooey from the gas leak
....cleaning exhaust residue off the belly.

Signed, sealed (literally!), and delivered for $1038.00. Not bad at
all, considering all the extra work my A&P on that fuel leak.

Atlas is good for another year -- tomorrow, we go fly!
