I am so bad about remembering to take pictures while I am working. Either way, I got the wiring in that I needed that is the correct gauge for the power and ground on the GSA 28. I got that run along with a wire for the CWS/Disconnect, terminated it Read more
I’m getting close to finishing up this part. I got the new plate drilled for rivets, deburred, primed and riveted in. I then installed the Andair fuel valve, cut the extension to the length I needed it, modified the cover to accept the fuel selector and installed that. Now I Read more
I ended up wasting a bit of time tonight by not using the right tools. I tried to be precise by hand and that was a terrible idea. Ended up wasting an hour. But I went the second time around using the drill press and other items and got it Read more
The Andair value arrived from the UK today. It is definitely quality and is almost a direct replacement for the Vans fuel selector. The selector is very smooth in its operation and I will feel much better switching tanks with this valve. I will need to cut a larger hole Read more
I wrapped up the CANBUS wiring and the rest of the harness for the GMU 11 magnetometer. I then remounted the wing tip and finished the CANBUS wiring at the roll servo. The larger wire gauge for the servo should be here sometime this week which will allow me to Read more
I got the CANBUS wire run for the right wing. I also got the power run for the GMU and the GSA but I decided I’m going to up the wire size for the GSA from 22ga to 20ga due to the 2.8 amps it could pull and the distance Read more
I decided to finish up the wiring for the wing tip. I need to double check some things now because when I looked at the diagram it looked like some of them they needed as local grounds but the FAQ states that everything should be run back to a central Read more
I realized after I had riveted a few rivets that I forgot to debur and dimple and countersink the upper hinges. I undid my work and got everything fixed. It then took a bit to do the riveting because the rivet sizes needed to be longer. But it is all Read more
I got the rest of the hinges drilled today as well as the shim dimpled and the hinges countersunk. All I have to do tomorrow is rivet all of this together and this section will be done. Should be roughly another hour.
I got all of the hinges cut and put in place with their initial drilled holes. It then took me the rest of tonight’s time to get the top hinges done because they are pretty stiff and didn’t want to conform to the tight bend. I’m going to imagine they Read more
