Catégorie: Fuselage : Cabin

The afternoon was spent finishing the plumbimg, or rather tidying all around the brake and fuel line. First I had to bend the ears of the forward cover before checking there was no interference with all the lines.



Due to the floor vibrations, the lines have to be supported. I cut some heavy foam, but as I will also install some noise attenuation foam it comes out too thick. I will have to find some thinner foam, or come up with another idea.



Then I bolted the fuel valve to its bracket, reinstalled the fuel pimp, tweaked a bit the line to the left fuel tank. I only have to check there is no serious interference between all this lines and may be protect some with plastic tubing.

Today, was plumbing day. first I redo the lines from the fuel selector to the tanks. No problems as I had some training earlier on. I also have to redo the right side as it is supposed to connect directly to the tank as this tank does not have a flop tube.



I install some protection to avoid bending the tubing while wrking around the cockpit. Not aerodynamic at all.



Then I install the tubing for the brakes between the park brake valve and the exit to the landing gear legs. Makes for a lot of tubings below the fuel valve.



This is a picture of the park brake valve connections.

Then I Isand the upper part of the fairing, at some places the fiberglass is not touching the tape, some filling will have to be done.



I then do the filling to smooth out the fairing. I think I will do another layup with some light weight clotn.
