Brief Description: Mid-cabin cover; ELT antenna mount
Since the mid-cabin cover on the right side of the cockpit will probably be used to mount a power outlet that will be used to charge the EFIS battery, I felt that the stock 0.025" cover was not going to adequately stand up to years of use and wear. It just seemed too flimsy, and it flexed too much when I plugged in and removed a power plug. Today, I fabricated a replacement mid-cabin cover out of 0.040" sheet. It seems plenty strong now. I might even use the bottom side of it to mount the SafetyTrim module or something...
I also drilled a 1/2" hole in the F-810A and installed a BNC bulkhead connector. This will be where I mount the ELT antenna (underneath the empennage fairing.)
Re-fabricated mid-cabin cover, this time made of 0.040 sheet.
ELT antenna connector installed on F-810A aft bulkhead.
