Скачать или смотреть Annual Inspection: Wing Assembly & Fuel Leak Repair

In this video, we take a closer look at the intricate details of a Gamebird annual inspection. Whether you are an aspiring pilot or a long-time fan of aviation, seeing the inner workings of an aircraft is always insightful. We explore how the wings of this airplane attach to the fuselage and troubleshoot a leak that highlights the importance of thorough general aviation maintenance

During this inspection, we examine the wing receiver mechanism where the wings slide into one another and are secured by pins to the fuselage

We also investigate a fluid leak found at the bottom of the wing. While it initially looked like residual smoke oil—common in aerobatic planes like the Extra—it was identified as fuel caused by a failed gasket on the fuel sender unit

Watch to see how we identified the issue to ensure the aircraft is safe for flight.
