Brief Description: Comm antennas; cockpit lighting
Another milestone! Tonight was the first night I've worked on the airplane in a heated hangar since 2003. It's wonderful being able to crank up the thermostat and work in shirtsleeves.
I fabricated the pair of back-plates for the two comm antennas, and began figuring out where I'll be mounting the antennas.
I also located and drilled the holes for the two mini map lights that will shine on the throttle quadrant and right-side switch panel. These will reside on the forward sides of the vertical channel caps, way up high, under the top longerons.
Left comm antenna backplate temporarily located near the autopilot roll servo tray.
