Log 19 - January, Friday the 13th

Storm moving in, might snow in a few days down to sea level. Flew after work - Paine field to Arlington for project, twilight flight to Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island and back to Paine Field. Since last post, I've flown two other evenings to Arlington this week. Not much work...I was down with a cold.

Complete:

• elevators/stabilizer fastened, rudder/elevator/aileron deflection clearance finished. Horiz stab closed. Installed Dynon remote compass/magnetometer/bracket & located in place. Closed horiz stabilizer, attached elevator. Cut holes/riveted, glassed/installed static ports, installed Dynon ammeter shunt. ProSeal'd NACA inlets in place. Purchased AK-450 emergency locating transmitter, tested/ designed/fabricated bracket& installed. Delivered impulse coupler magneto (slick 4373) to Tom Downey for test/refurb at OKH.

Next:

• Elevator/rudder linkage clearance from stabilizer (sanding). Empannage 2 bolts castlated. Complete brake lines, pitot insl, run light wires, fuel lines firewall fwd & aft, Dynon fuel transducer & , sand/bondo dorsal fin more. Battery in bracket. Install ailerons after sanding & linkages. ELT switch on panel. Close wingtip lights & finish electrical connectors. Location and mounting of A/P servos. Clean old masking tape off windows. sand flaps & aileron lower surfaces. FAA for tail#'s again (lapsed timeframe for original number). Measure throttle/mixture/heat cable lengths. Prop/spinner cut/fasten. Finish baffling.

Decisions:

• Fuel injection throttle body control arm change not needed. Magneto impulse coupler to be checked/refurbed. 

Way later (after wing instl, after all electronic fields established for some items):

• All control stops, rudder pedal stops, gap unit between wing and rudder pedals. Calibrate and multi-configure Dynon system (zero system, inclination and magnetic intensity). Flap clearance, Seat bulkhead then door locks. Need transponder & ELT antenna's. Remote fwd camera and headlight?
