Log 42

Controls: I have knob/cables for cabin heat and air inlet flapper. The air inlet flapper is a red knob in the cockpit going to the air inlet box below the throttle body of the fuel injection. The mechanism is to allow pilot to manually open in case the inlet/filter clogs with ice in a very extreme case. I've mounted both knobs on the right of the panel, inlet flapper with a safety so passengers don't tamper but I can use it (airline pilot recommended). Cables routed and one attached to cabin heat lever forward of firewall. Otherwise, was working on the Cessna intercom and a flying last few days.

Log 41 - multiple small projects

Last post was July 10th. I've been working on many projects since then. Not many posts. My camera was down so not many photo updates. I took a small break for summer events.

Just a quick update:
Tailwheel lock: routed cable and cut to length, swaged. Revised lock pin on tailwheel. Cable routing design with pulley and overcam lever on panel. Cut slot in panel, installed lever arm, attached cable with designed cable stop/hold, lever displacement on panel - All Complete. Just need to label.

Stand-Off's for wiring installation firewall forward. Moved wires off engine mount and other places - mostly complete.

Rudder Pedal Stops - Moved from firewall compression design to tension cable design. Turnbuckles ordered and other parts ready to complete.

Comm Error on Garmin SL-30 and altitude encoding for Transponder - troubleshooting and hope to resolve soon.

More later...
