Fuselage December 2007 Updates December 22, 2007 More wiring.... - 3.0 hrs Ran some wires today. Just about thru with wires from the EXP bus over to the drop down panel. Tidied up some of the runs with tie wraps. I removed the SL-40 to get prepared for the SL-30. Decided to go ahead and upgrade to a NavComm. Did not make any sense to have this nice EFIS screen and not feed it. I have all of these wires that were just going to end up not connecting to anything. Now I will have to add a Bob Archer antenna in one wing tip and a marker beacon antenna in the other. The SL-30 has a splitter that will give glideslope off of the VOR antenna in the wingtip. Before I left for the hangar I saw a post from Paul Dye needing a prop cable end bearing for Mikeys upgrade. I thought I had one he could use since I wouldn't need it right away. I gave him a call to confirm I had it so he jumped in VAL and flew over to pick it up. By the time he got to Weiser it was gusting pretty bad. He nailed the landing and pulled up and stopped in for a chat. I snapped a few shots of him as he was taxing out. What a gorgeous plane. After Paul left this Stensin showed up and tied down out in front of my hangar. As I left I snapped a few shots.
