I got the shield ground drilled and done. I also then zip tied the rear light lead to its spot and mounted the wing tip. Probably all I will be able to get done until we get back from Thanksgiving activities. I’m also going to be busy now doing my Read more
I got the harness labeled and done. I just need to wait for the adhesive to cure on the mounts for the rear wingtip lights and then put a nutplate in the wing rib for the shield grounds. I’ll work on that on Monday.
I’ve been doing so much flying, studying, and church stuff lately I’ve not had a chance to work at all. So I made it a point tonight to get out there and finish this wingtip wiring up. Unfortunately I had forgotten all I had done and the pictures I took Read more
The fuel inlet lines to the fuel valve only needed a slight modification to get them to hook up. But the fuel outlet needed a new line run. I got that done but it took me two tries. I ended up making the first attempt too short but the second Read more
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
