Second Annual Maintenance

Great news!  It turns out that the alternator was not bad and that the wire going from the voltage regulator to the field coil of the alternator had just broken.  This is likely an inexpensive fix (rare on aircraft).  Aside from that I am working with my mechanic on an owner assisted annual.  This means that I can do some work under the supervision of an A&P IA and really get to know my airplane.  I cannot begin to explain how important this is and how enjoyable the work is.  We took all the cowling off and inspected the engine and part of the airframe.  Nothing major has come up so far which is a stark contrast to my last annual.  We had to stop due to lack of light but I bought an 8’ light bank for my hangar last  night so it should be easy to see tonight J  I am really looking forward to this.
