Today was a fun day! Now that the windshield is bonded, I was able to install the avionics panel and get everything connected to the harness. What an easy process thanks to Midwest Panel Builders. I think it only took us about a half hour to fit the panel and get everything connected with the plug and play harness with labeled connectors. Next up - Wings, Prop, Upholstery and then just sprinkle in some fuel and oil and we're ready for blast off! Documented the process of bonding the windshield: - taping / masking fuselage - taping / masking windshield - bonding and applying contact pressure - dash vent tweak - Aveo 2” Maxi Vent.. I’ll be running the outside air directly to these. Heat will be routed to the front floor and through the side channels. Here’s the latest update from the last week or so.. - Routed the fuel lines in the fuselage - Tidy’d up the fuel lines with some zip tie and fuel line stand offs - Spliced an extended the fuel pump wire, it was too short to reach around to the other side of the pump - Added heat shield to the oil lines - Trimmed the windshield to fit and get ready for bonding I’ve been traveling a lot in March and the weather has been quite cold here in the Denver area. We’ve been getting record amounts of snow here! Anyway, a short video of the latest items I’ve been working on. |
