The firewall forward work is just about finished on the 1977 Cessna Cardinal that we're refurbishing for this year's AOPA sweepstakes - and we're getting ready to run the engine for the first time! (And that's just in time because the Cardinal will be migrating north for AOPA's Fly-In and Open House on June 2 in Frederick, Maryland.) In this week's update, you can read about the engine and prop on the Cardinal, plus what it takes to install every accessory and ensure all are functioning properly before the airplane takes flight.
