Tuesday, 3/20/12:  Changed out fuel lines to Aeroquip #FC598-06. This is a much tougher abrasion & cut resistant flexible line than the regular auto-fuel hose I had in place. With help from Curtiss Schutzberg of South Texas Aviation, we ran wing wiring, pitot & static lines, radio antenna wiring, push to talk wiring and hardware, & ELT wiring. Curtiss fixed a continuing problem with the carb heat & cabin heat cable linkage which were sticking. 12 hrs.
