Catégorie: Engine : Cowls

To change a bit, we install the two cowl halves and fabricate the two side hinge pins. We also try to see how to make the hinge hiding device as naice as possible. There is still some work there.

As I still have some help I install the six nutplates that will hold the upper gear leg fairings. They would be somewhat difficult to rivet solo.

Catégorie: Finishing : Canopy

As I had some help, we installed the window. After some tweaking it's screwed on the fuselage.
I still have to find how to make a nice seal at the aft as water is supposed to leak in when flying or parking in rain.

Catégorie: Finishing : Wiring

I continue working on the harnesses and wire runs. I find a problem with the trim control unit. The box has been one of the first I installed and the harness goes through the subpanel. To be able to work on the connector, I planned some slack in the harness but the slack disappeared in the wiring euphoria.
I fabricated an extension harness.



For the connexion I used D-subs, but I'm missing one connector and one shell.
Once this was done I reconnected all the wires I had to disconnect in the last week



Before closing the connexions on the EIS, I check the engine temperature sensor by heating them. I find a problem with the EGT on cylinder 3 (EGT3 at 24), it goes down instead of up. I'm the culprit as I managed to swap two wires despite them being color coded.
