Well, we're finally getting the Navion done. I was overjoyed that we found the binder full of my "flight manual supplements" to the non existant flight manual. We got the annual done and the plane weighed and we're ready to go except... the Airworthiness Certificate is nowhere to be found. Send an email to the CLT FSDO. Within hours I have a PDF of a new official one. Love these guys.
Get everything buttoned up and put some fuel in it. Engine starts up and runs smooth but no RPMs on the MVP-50P. Not only that, the gauge and fields in various screens that should be marked RPMs is marked "STARTS" (which I'm not even supposed to have on the MVP-50P, it's a MVP-50T parameter). The calibration screen actually shows the right values for the left and right mags (3 times the rpm normally, 0 when the mag is grounded), so I know have it wired up right. Of course, it's now after 5PM and there's nobody alive at EI so I may be grounded until Monday. Was hoping to get out of Nebraska on Sunday.
