plane had it's 'first' annual. with good assistance of AI, tore plane apart and looked closely for any problems. Engine was great--90 hrs on TMX 540. Had to do the SB on mags--sent them back to Mattituck and finished that check off. Found a small fuel leak in tunnel, and found a chaffed fuel line there. (the scat tube was rubbing). Replaced fuel line, and moved the fuel flow meter from the tunnel to just before the injector spider. Had a little chaffing in the rear of the tunnel with control cables and some wires. Fixed it. Brakes look new. Rest of the plane was great. Found a 50 cent piece in the rear that must have fallen out when bucking rear rivets!!!!! I hope all annuals go so well. great plane. oh, biggest glitch, somehow we forgot to turn on the ELT--glad we didn't crash. Good to have another pair of eyes checking on things. larry & gayle N104LG
