Thanks! It's been rewarding but the biggest challenge has been learning everything as I go!

[@Bryan-ws3yt]

I'll be waiting! Good job so far. Thanks for the video.

Great video explaining in detail of what needs to be done and why! I've heard a ton of good reviews on that air filter, I think I will order a Brackett air filter for our 150. I really liked your presentation of everything and nice job on the selection of the background music.

I like it! It was easy to install and the paperwork is as simple as it gets. Working on a video for that part of the project today actually.

The landing gear abox is best inspected with a borescope... your girimes light works better than mine... The struts should be inspected for internal rust... I haven't seen one of those ELTs for years... Good Job !

I ended up doing the borescope trick off camera after I was not satisfied with what I was unable to see. Thanks for the follow up though!

a couple of tips from a AI, I did not like the propeller safety wire , the wire should be 041 and 7 turns per inch and the Brackett air filter is a STC change, so a 337 is required, Don't know if you said anything about that?? Also get smaller files for your propeller dressing

[@The_Flying_Mechanic]

Thanks for the reply! I put it in the description but there is so much information packed into an annual (as I am sure you know) not everything gets included in the video. I am aware of the 337's with the air filter as it is an alteration. I already got smaller files after trying to deal with that larger one.

Did I hear you say you received a new landing light? Previously in the video it looked functional??

[@The_Flying_Mechanic]

Looking to upgrade it to LED. I initially thought I had a short in the system but the light pulls like 25 amps when it is running! An LED would be under 5!

What is that inspection light you’re useing?? Thanks
