I zip tied the static line down this morning, ran the ELT control cable to the front of the fuselage, and I also got the static and antenna runs through the flap torque tube area, up the side of the plane and to the front panel. I need to figure Read more
I changed my mind a little bit on where exactly to run the static line. I was going to run it along the upper stringer until I got to the baggage bulkhead, but then it got to the point where I wasn’t sure how best to get the bolts through Read more
While I had a little bit of time tonight I got the static line mounts fabricated, five in total. I’ll use the L bracket one to mount the T connector, and the rest will be used along one of the upper stringers to bring the line up to the baggage Read more
I got the line run in the channels I ran under the baggage and rear seats. I’m going to have to make modifications to the side panel now to get access to hide both the wires and this static line behind the other panels I took off. I had put Read more
I’m still head deep into getting my CFI done, but I honestly believe I’ll be able to get my CFI by the end of April to middle of May. As such I wanted to get some parts in so that I can make more progress outside of the fiberglass work 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 go ahead and get the ELT installed since I have all of that ready to go. It went well up until I started pulling the rivets at the top. The first one got stuck in my rivet gun. This thing is pictured above the place it went; Read more
Last night before I went to bed I decided I needed to 3d print the components I was going to be installing in my system so I could plan space, cable runs, etc. And below is the fruit of my efforts (granted Garmin provided the models) The first one is Read more
