Combo update for yesterday and today. Finished painting the side panels, began to install but found that when I placed them under the halogen lights to dry, the fiberglass had bent.... so I needed to restore the proper set to each panel, and did so by reheating with th Halogen lights and then lettting them cool in the finished position. I also needed some finish washers & domed #8 SS screws for the upper 2 screws on each side. I picked those up today @ ACE, and finished the installation. When I installed the EFIS's I found that I had an interferranc eproblem with the stickes hitting the knobs on the pilot side. I wrestled with the thoughts o having to unwire the control sticks and rebend them. BUT... I found that I had More than enough travel per the plans, so I thought about a control stop to limit the forward (down) elevator. I ended up making a stop from some 3/4" 2024 angle, and used one of the control horn bearing bolts to anchor it. Some trial and error, and I was able to get it to within 1/4" of the knobs, while still providing the full 25 degreed down elevator per the plans. Yesterday I also applied some non skid self adhesive to the forward portion of the seat mounting platform. this will allow for folks to step here when getting in and out of the a/c. I also reworked the latch pins for the co-pilot door. It was extremely hard to close. I left it closed all night and today, when I tried it I found that ater the rubberseal had compressed overnight, The door latch mechanism worked easier.
