Getting ready for Airworthiness Inspection and first flight

Since last post, I've been installing all the various parts like wing tips and testing functionality of the avionics and lighting.  Correcting some errors along the way (one broken wire to trim on stick, wiring error in landing light, etc).   Also have pre-oiled the engine, performed weight and balance (nicely "forward" CG but a little heavy at 1285 lbs).  Yesterday, completed fuel flow tests (excellent results at 34/35 gallons per hour).

I'm continuing to program all settings like V-speeds into the G3X touch and configure the system in general (like autopilot settings).

Scheduled for inspection and first flight next week.  Should be doing first engine run today or tomorrow.
