| A bunch of odds and ends today just trying to get everythign ready for paint pick up (hopefully Monday). I mounted the seat rails |
|
| for the pilot seat, so I could install the seat and check the placement of the rudder pedals. It looks like they will work fine as |
|
| installed, with the seat adjusted with me in it and feet on the pedals, I'm 1 notch back from midway, it will work just fine for me, |
|
| but if someone with really long legs wanted to fly the plane they might run out of seat movement. I did find a gotcha, Rodger from |
|
| AUS e-mailed me last night and had noticed I was missing the mid seat rail supports on the outboard sides. I entirely overlooked |
|
| this! and I've mounted some relays in this position, so it looks like I've got a bit of re-work !!!!. I trimmed the battery hold down |
|
| bracket so that I can charge the batteries without removing the bracket (had some interferrence prior). removed the aft |
|
| bulkheads and side panels so I can paint them, removed all antenna's, ans well as the VS and rudder. I reinstalled the lower and |
|
| upper cowl, it had been quite awhile since I've done this, but they went on without a hitch. Taped some dishcloths around the |
|
| control grips to minimize any scratching. Mounted the Inertial seatbelts w/ bushings, so that the screws get painted. |
