| Continued addressing the electrical 'to-do's. I decided to take advantage of one of the features of the EPS 404 Strobe light |
|
| system/power supply that I have. i.e. the ability to change the strobe pattern to any one of 10-12 different patterns. I doubt I'll |
|
| use this much, but if/when i do, it's a lot easier to hit a button in the cockpit, than to open up the atilcone and jump some wires. I |
|
| ammounted to running 1 new wire from the main buss back through the control grip stick underseat wiring point, and installing a |
|
| momentary push button switch and connecting the power wire, switch to the strobe pattern control lead that I had previously |
|
| brough forward from the power supply. I mounted the switch on the forward portion of the seat close-out panel, just below the |
|
| switch to ground/deacivate the co-pilot trim switches. They both can be reched in flight just under my right knee/leg. The rest of |
|
| the day was spent fixing a nagging problem with the WAAS GPS not working. I suspected it was antenna related, and got 2 new |
|
| TNC connectors from Mouser, double checked the crimp spec with Tyco website/pdf. adn installed two new coax connectors. It |
|
| turns out the porblem was in the cabin cover roof connector that attaches to the antenna itself, the signal pin was some how |
|
| shorted to the shield. I reconnected the co-pilot MFD, and center console, rolled it all out into the drieway for clear lineof |
|
| sight,and retested- SUCEESS ... I now have 2 WAAS capable GPS, with one of them certified. |
