Re: FINALLY….AIRBORNE!
Congrats! She looks good.
Mine is still in for the MSB (hopefully back this week).
I’m curious though about the fuel probe issue, a few weeks ago my main tank was showing empty on the gauge despite the fact that I could see it was full. We were about to ferry it for maintenance about a week later and when we turned on the gauge showed the correct fuel level and has ever since. I am asking Southtec (where it is right now) to see if they can run a diagnostic but we eventually put it down to the fact that that everything was new and something had stuck.
Interested in hearing wha your issue was.

Re: FINALLY….AIRBORNE!
We had a Fuel temp issue "Fuel HOT >64C" on ground at startup. Discovered faulty probe, verified by jumping probes left to right and shooting wires from probe to G1000.BritInNC wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 2:58 pm Congrats! She looks good.

Re: FINALLY….AIRBORNE!
Thanks for the info. Mine was a different issue, incorrect reading of fuel amount.
