Baffle seals, FAB drain, EFIS CHT temps

Baffle seals

I got a full day in on the baffle seals today and riveted them into place. Hard to say how it will work in practice but it seems to be a reasonably good seal.

FAB drain

The FAB requires a hole to drain any fuel from it that collects. I drilled one at the aft lowest point in the tail down attitude.

EFIS CHT temps

In the engine EMS menu I set the green band range for CHT to 350-400°f. Previously I had the lower end of the range at 300°f. However I’d like to get used to operating and keeping the engine CHT’s in this band if possible. If it’s not easily done then I’ll need to change the baffles, fuel flow/mixture, or outlet area size to correct it.
