Brief Description: 1: Engine Controls and Cable Doubler
An awesome day out here in the desert today for building aeroplanes. A lot of rain yesterday brought some relief from the heat, and the temperature today stayed under 30C all day, so I made the most of it.
First up I set about finishing off the jobs that I started yesterday. I fitted my new centre tunnel cover plate, and ran in the engine control cables. I'm going with a fixed pitch propellor, so I just have throttle, mixture and alternate air controls to worry about.
Next up I rivetted my cable clamp doubler plate to the inside of the firewall (second picture below), then on the front side I fitted a couple cushion clamps to the main power cables.
Centre tunnel cover installed, and engine control cables fitted
Another doubler plate rivetted to the inside of the firewall
With the doubler plate installed, I could then clamp the main power cables
