I just finished my annual a week ago and have flown 4 hours since then.
The annual went really well with only one unexpected squawk, that was for a bushing in my trim tab. A couple of hundred bucks for what was pitched to me as something that "probably was ok for another year' item. I'd rather they just fixed it now.
It was also time for a new ELT battery, I am still waiting for the 406MHJz ones to come down in price. It was also pitot/static/transponder check time too.
I had two circuit breakers that had been giving me some problems. The symptom was that the items on those circuits would not work. Tap the breakers with your fingers and everything would be fine. So I had the breakers replaced. Wouldn't you know but on Monday when Al and I went up flying two new breakers started the same problem. On those I can wait until the next oil change and have them done then. But it is frustrating. It is like they got jealous of the other newer breakers.
