Log 82

Just to log a few completed items from part of last week till today, approx 14 hrs:

1. Finally a chance to review, test, install and start calibration of my fuel sensors to the wing and header tanks, electrical power and to the flight deck.
2. Tested wires! Had some auxiliary wires made for remote access for updates to the Dynon flight deck. Soldered new to the VOR, closed the EFIS connector DB25 with corrected wires and one mystery wire to the correct pin location (I had disconnected earlier for testing). Wire into Pin#20.
3. Finished air hoses. S/b ready for Tuesday's cert. Slightly modified for more direct air.
4. Cleaned and fiberglass resin on old rudder/brake pedal supports removed.
5. R&R'd fuel in main tank while fixing a small leak at the feeder connection. Sanded burs on fitting and more direct to connector. Seems to be no leaks now.
6. Cabin heater cable more direct and tightened.
7. Finished all other firewall penetrations, one with firehose/clamps and others with bolts.
8. Started stall strips. Created full mold ready for mill fiber/resin.
9. Safety wired oil spout tube to engine, more baffling bolts with castle washers, complete.

Few things added to list after Miles came by for quick review. Some items listed above, also will look at Van's brake fluid breather valve, bend cotter pins away from mechanic access, tighten alternator belt/safety wire, RTV around baffling for better cooling and remove duct tape from airbox....added these to list of things to do.
