Hi Again
Have a look at this thread and then decide which spec of brake fluid to use.

Aeroshell 41 is a Mil Spec 5606 grade of fluid that has a much lower flash
point than Aeroshell 31. Personally, I ike the extra security of the higher
flash point fluid. A gallon is way overkill but it was the smallest quantity
I could buy (and the price difference was minimal).

I did it this way, bought the can from Harbor freight and had it all done
within about 15 minutes. I did it so fast I thought I did something wrong,
one item I did come across is the pilot to co-pilot tubes had some air in
it, but in time it raised up to the reservoir and is long gone, so if that
happens to you don't worry just keep filling up the reservoir and the air
will rise.
I just bought Aeroshell 41 brake fluid from Aircraft spruce,
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/aeroshell_bflu.php- pint is
more than plenty.

This link shows how to bleed RV brakes. I have't done this but hope to try
in a couple of weeks. It doesn't seem too complicated.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=33493
I bought a gallon of Aeroshell 31 from the oilstore
(http://oilstore.stores.yahoo.net/aerfluid31ga.html). I selected this as it
has a higher flash point than normal brake fluid. It is not available from
Shell in Canada so I had to buy online.

You had to have the prop on to fit the cowl, but if it is now fit, you
can remove the prop to make the baffles much easier to work with.

| Subject: | Re: engine break in period |
AS others have noted, when on the ground even a CS prop tends to be stalled over
the inboard section, and provides very little cooling airflow into the cowl.
Extended high power ground runs are generally a poor idea.
However, a "bad break in" is not completely catastrophic financially (assuming
you didn't over heat anything). You'd have to pull all the cylinders and re-hone
them, to break the glaze; then start again.
I think a lot of engine people would agree that the 50 hours called for by Lycoming
is wildly conservative (but not harmful). For steel cylinders most of the
break-in happens in the first few hours, and if it doesn't the cylinders most
likely are glazed over, and another 40 hours is unlikely to help.

In doing my cowl fitting it was necessary to rotate my three bladed prop. I
pulled the bottom plugs and had a significant amount of the motor oil cont
aining the anti corrosion additive out of #1 and #3 cylinders.
I just got a sample of the Cortec VC1-326 additive but can someone tell me
what motor oil the engine normally uses. My engine manual is behind a pile
of stuff which I cannot get out of the way right now.

After four plus years N333GR (#40301) finally took the weight off the wheels.
Like most previously described first flights this too was uneventful. I was struck
by the forward view (I found my self constantly wanting to climb since the
"normal" view looked like a dive) and the beauty of seeing the runway all the
way thru the pattern (all previous time in a 172). I was too tumescent to remember
anything else. I do have some issues with the GRT EFIS and EIS but I
think they are related to my lack of computer skills and the less than clear (at
least to me) GRT set-up documents. If anyone has advice on GRT set-up please
