Working towards First Engine Start. Last post, Oct 30th. I've spent a few days since last post, about 15 hours sewing contol stick boots, labeling switches/fuses, moving circuits, analyzing and labeling wires, preparing fuel system, and now ignition and other systems ready for engine start. Unplugged wire from SL30 to D180 so we won't see the COM Failure and no VOR head but its OK for now.
Today, Steve Alford and I moved forward on the electronic ignition, testing top dead center, cylinder 1, plugging in the hall indicator, sorting out the ignition switch, testing and installing, phasing the system by arching the cylinder 1 & 2 wire electrodes by moving the propeller at high and low spots. It was like awaking Frankenstien! Just need to install the 3/8" lines from cylinder 3, T'd to ignition and Dynon D180 for manifold pressure, and do fuel test, than ready for engine start. Maybe tomorrow!
More photos later.
