Am I reading this correctly--you annualed your plane FOUR MONTHS before
it was due due just so it would be available the entire month of June?!
I've played the 13-month game over a period of years so that the annual
is now due in March instead of November, and plan to stick with March
from now on. But paying to tear the plane apart 4 months before it has
to be done seems a bit of a harsh toke.

Not giving you a hard time, just surprised is all.

Almost.

We're installing the Skycraft cut-in-the-leading-edge-of-the-wing landing
lights, which requires removal of the interior, and the wing panels (and,
because I had gap seals, the ailerons). As long as I was going to this
extreme, my A&P mentioned that we might as well do the annual inspection.
Considering I didn't want to have my plane down in June anyway, it all made
sense to do the annual early.

The landing light installation looks great, by the way. I'll have pix up in
a day or two.
