In testing the pito side of the system we discovered debris in the pito tube which had accumulated during the year the fuselage was sitting in the hangar. Remember that critters love pito holes even in airplanes that are not flying. It is a good idea to cover the tube during the build.
Pic 2. Completed installation of the antennae for the radio and transponder. In testing the radio's we discovered that the wiring harness built by Sarasota Avionics was completely wrong. Sarasota wanted us to return the harness to them and asked us if we could completely reinstall a new harness. We declined and Kelly spent the next 2 days tracing down the issues -there were many- and correcting them. Now, all works as advertised and required.
