Fuselage July 2007 Updates July 28, 2007 Magnatometer... - 2.0 hrs I strolled down to the hangar to drop off a few things. Mainly just an excuse to stop by. I took the magnatometer for the EFIS with me to see how I was going to make it fit on the empenage deck. I have seen a few others with Dynon units do it this way. The install instructions say the plug needs to face forward so that limits puting it against the forward edge. Then you have the first 2 lightening holes to deal with. I also took the harness that Tim at Approach made for me. Looks like I can run the wires for that down the right side like a doing with the static line on the left side. I will need to drill a few holes and install snap bushings first. Also noticed I needed to cut 2 pieces of NACA tubing to run from the vents to the fresh air vents in the panel. I will wait to install the panel for good before I clamp them in plave permantly. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft.
