| Trying to finish up the electrical/wiring. !st task today was to finish wiring the Flap motor & positioning system. When I initially |
|
| installed the motor and FPS I tested it and put some pigtail leads exiting the tunnel near the FPS. I forgot to add an extra 12V |
|
| power wire to the Flap switch when building th epanel, so it required another trip under the panel w/ ty wraps , a precrimped ring |
|
| terminal attached to a 18 awg wire. Then routed the wire through the existing bundle that extends back into the fuse on the right |
|
| side. Made a quick trip to Ace hdwr to pick up some snap bushings and then temp connected the leads and ran a test to verify |
|
| direction, (I all works !!!) and then cut the wires to 'final length' and crimped the wires to the pigtails. Secured the bundle to the aft |
|
| wing spar using the selfadhesive tywrap holders. Next task is toe begin the wiring of the stick grips. I got an relay deck (really |
|
| compact0 from CH after speaking to Kevin @ OSH this year. they package it in a neat plastic encousure, which I mounted to the |
|
| left landing geat brace/mount. I drilled holes in the rear of both fixtures that recieve the control sticks and then inserted a snap |
|
| bushing into each. I needed to figure out how to route the cables from the right stick/grip to the relay deck. A trip to Ace hardware |
|
| resulted in a 7/16" brass tube fitted with snap bushings superglued to each end. I used a step dril to drill two holes in the tunnel |
|
| ribs and ran the brass tube between them in a place where there will be no control interference. Epoxied the tube in place. |
