Post First Flight Squawks

First flight brought out a couple of issues. My passenger PTT button was stuck on. I had just wired it the day before and hadn't tested in until I went to fly. Turns out I had a wire soldered on the wrong terminal of the button.

My transponder didn't seem to be working but last night it was working fine. I'm not sure if I just couldn't see the lights on or what. I'll keep an eye on it.

I shortened the scat tube that holds the FAB to the inlet ring as it was too long.

The mixture problem was still lingering, so I pulled the carb off last week and sent it back for inspection. It is due back today. I'll get it back on tonight.

Hope to be back in the air on Saturday!
