Brief Description: Got the Autopilot all Installed
|
|
Got a lot of little things done today. I have a habit when working, when I come across a difficult portion, to just skip it and keep plowing ahead. This is good for progress, but has the problem of leaving things undone, sometimes important things. I then take some time to go back and finish all those difficult portions.
I got the autopilot servos all installed and wired today. Despite hi lighing the requirement in the plans for the bolts to be loctited, and Torsten having forgot it too, darned if I did not do the same. Off they came, and loctited they now are. Finished some areas of wiring, and generally went looking for incomplete things.
I was concerned about the flap handle, needed some sort of handle on it. I got the Ray Allen grips, and a call to them got me a matching flap handle! Now to weaken that spring and maybe ramp the notches so all I have to do is pull lup to get flaps, lnot even using the button except when retracting them.
