Brief Description: Tail wiring; aft bulkhead
|
|
It was another pretty productive day buried up to my ankles in the tail cone. I completed all the little cleanups of the wiring back there, ran the ELT control wire through the aft baggage bulkhead, and drilled about a dozen holes and temporarily attached Adel clamps in preparation for routing the strobe and nav wires, magnetometer wires, autopilot cable, and DV camera wire. I also cleaned up and secured all the remaining wires under the aft deck.
Next, I clecoed the F-810A aft bulkhead in place and attached the ELT antenna cable to the bulkhead fitting. Since my homemade F-810A has a smaller lightening hole than the stock bulkhead, I'll probably have to use blind rivets in some areas, and I can already tell that tightening the horizontal stab bolts is going to be a challenge, since I can't reach my hand through the hole.
I also primed the two spacers that will reside under the front spar of the horizontal stabilizer.

Adel clamps were added and wiring cleaned up a lot.
