log18 - New Year 2012

January 1st & 2nd, 2 more commuter flights to Arlington Airport:

• More closing of elevators/stabilizer, started running new brake lines. Dorsal fin bondo, sanded,  mill fiber resined bad spots..more sanding later. Ailerons hinges are now drilled full size, countersunk & riveted in place, removed by hinge for sanding with flaps - bondo'd. rudder, aileron, elevator deflection clearance finished. Horiz stab closed.
• Ordered Odessey PC680 battery, went to Dynon - traded low pressure sensor for HP sensor.

Next:

• Dynon Remote Compass bracket & locate in chosen place. Finish brake lines, pitot insl, run light wires, close horiz stabilizer, attach elevator to close all empennage. Install static port system, install Dynon ammeter shunt , Dynon fuel transducer & lines firewall forward, sand dorsal fin, sand elevator. ProSeal NACA inlets. Dave Wheeler for ELT. Install ailerons & linkages. Close wingtip lights & finish electrical connectors. Heater hose in cabin routing. Other idea's....I've got to figure that out. Location and mounting of A/P servos. Clean old masking tape off windows.

Questions:

• Is one servo installed in wing? Remote fwd camera?

Decisions:

• No gascolator, no oil breather, no serial to parallel converter needed for transponder, no new safeair fittings for air system for now. ELT, just go 121.5mhz along with using SPOT.

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

• All control stops, gap unit between wing and rudder pedals. Calibrate and multi-configure Dynon system (zero system, inclination and magnetic intensity). more later..
