| Finished making the connections to the Batteries. The last 2 were the #2 and #4 AWG welding cables that get run forward and |
|
| attached to the contactors by the Batteries. While I was at it. I also fabricated a bracket from some 2"x2" angle that attaches to |
|
| the Van's battery hold down bar. Then mounted the Pitch Servo. I waited for Tru Trak to send the 'fixed' servo mounts, but could |
|
| have saved them and me some time. All they did was ream out the misdrilled hole so tha tit matches the nutplate hole, and I |
|
| ended up putting 3 washers under it to act as spacers. Their hardward kit still didn't have the right sized bolt in it. It needs an AN |
|
| 13 and they ship a AN10/11. I re routed some of the Contactor wires to provide more room between them and the Xbow AHDR. |
|
| They want 24" between anythign magnetic/ferous/or electric and short of mounting it to the top of the tailcone, there's really no |
|
| place that provides the 24". I spoke w/ Dwight @ OSH about mounting an A/C compressor back there and what it would do to |
|
| the AHRS and he seems to think that it would be OK, and that the 'calibration' rountine would correct for anything. I used Tim |
|
| Olsen's approach for mounting the AHRS, and found some non magnetic Stainless Steel screws and nuts to moun it with. I need |
|
| to fabricate some brackets to mount the Strobe power supply, and the ELT and then I can pull all of the wiring forward from the |
|
| rear to the panel/Firewall. |
