The
turtle deck has taken a considerable amount of modification and fettling. We
were quite concerned about damage to the control tubes of the flapperons where
they protrude through the deck. Lots of fiddly hard work.
The pitot tube has been fitted to the underside of the starboard wing (into the existing mount). The radio aerial has also been fitted.
I
have finally finished the wiring of the panel and have now brought it
to the hangar to fit it. After a careful drive down the lumpy road, I used the
cars rear shelf to carry the panel from the car parking area. This then served
as a very convenient bench to lay between the two door apertures and to rest
the panel on (cushioned by a couple of large towels). I could then start wiring
it into the rest of the plane, through the single umbilical cable. This will
take a while.
We
have also fitted the capacitor on the firewall, directly above the regulator.
