| Removed the Flap positioining system and returned it to the vendor. It had no power going from the control box to the flap motor, |
|
| Ran a continuity check per the vendors instructions and verified that the ground lead did not have continuity through the |
|
| controller, so boxed it up to send back for an exchange. Began the initial trimming and noodeling about the fiberglass panel. The |
|
| panel is a Lancair panel, but The layout is Soo impressive, I (along with a couple of other RV-10 builders) have decided to adapt |
|
| it to our planes, Tthe issues are: 1. Need new mounting/attachment schemea and possibly some reinforcement of the fiberglass |
|
| panel itself to replace the large bottom crossmember on Van's panel.. I want to be able to insert/remove the entire panel and |
|
| 'bolt it on' We'll see if this is realistic. 2. The contour of the top of the panel doesn't perfectly match that of the RV10 glareshield., |
|
| and the panel; itself is curved so that the outboard ends are 3+ inches closer than the center stack. 3. The outboard ends of the |
|
| panel will require some cosmetic treatment. After the mounting/attachment is sorted out, I'll shape some covers from some foam |
|
| and then glass them. This thing promisses to take up some time!!! Oh by the way did I mention that I'm going to build a console |
