Question Input Please: First Annual Condition Inspection Next Week

[lrobichaux]

Plane going in tomorrow for its first annual condition inspection. Because the plane is still under warranty, my CC sales rep (Chad Hayden, great guy!) recommended that a nearby shop with significant experience with experimental CubCrafters planes to flush out any / all issues that could be handled under warranty. I have a short list of existing squawks, but wanted to get any comments / suggestions on your experiences from your first / second annual. My plane: 2024 NXCub, IO393 215hp, two-blade prop. Thanks in advance!

Get a borescope. A FX-3 owner had a bad cylinder.

Check for fuel leaks.

You should have a condition inspection checklist in your AMM. Give this to your A&P for additional reference.
