Today was supposed to be the big day when I mounted the tail, but I found some more things to take care of first -- lots of miscellaneous projects:
1. Completed the intallation of the fuel flow transducer on its custom mount (although I still have to swap out one mounting screw when it arrives later this week). I also fabricated the two fuel lines that connect the transducer. These worked out pretty well.
2. RTVed the wiring conduit in the aft fuselage, much like I did in the wings.
3. Attached the elevator stop to the aft fuselage deck. Torqued nuts to final value.
4. Torqued tailwheel attach nut to final value.
5. Fabricated a spacer plate for my new rear cockpit power outlet. (I recently discovered Powerlet sockets, which are much higher quality that a standard "cigarette lighter" outlet. They are a smaller diameter unit, however, so I had to create a plate to cover the slightly oversize hole in the bulkhead where it'll be mounted.) Photos tomorrow.
6. Engineered an attachment method for the static line as it passes the stobe power pack.
Fuel flow transducer mounted and fuel lines installed.
Aft fuselage conduit ends under the rear baggage shelf.
