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 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 spent a good portion of my build time today working on the avionics and power distribution documentation. I decided I’m going to swap out the GTR 205xR remote comm radio for an actual nav/comm radio. This will be my separate backup for IFR navigation just in case the GTN Read more

Tonight was the first real night of fuselage work. I had to remove the pop rivets they installed to hold down the components that they did not perform the final install on. I then inspected their work which was really good! They did an excellent job with all of their Read more
I spent quite a bit of time in Visio working on the block diagram. I know the components I want/need in the plane so now I just need to document how they will connect to each other as well as the redundant paths in case one of the methods goes Read more
