Brief Description: Ctrls, Avionics, Eng Mount, F775 riveting
Didn't log every day--worked about 40 hrs from 19-25 Nov (took off work--week of T-giving). This is the summary:
- Installed the control column hardware and torqued most of the bolts--should not have to remove it going forward!
- Set up the elevator pushrods for stop-to-stop travel. I had thought seat rib matl was interfering, but turns out I just needed to screw in the rod-end bearings a couple turns.
- Installed aileron trim mechanism and servo motor. Used a DB9 connector on its pigtail, as for elevator trim servo; bench tested prior to install.
- Made a shelf for dual ADAHRS that will be attached to the ribs and stiffeners at the top of the fuse just behind F-906. The mechanical dwg for the Dynon Skyview ADAHRS was the basis. Most other ADAHRS units aren't much bigger. If they are, I won't be buyin' them.
- Started engine mount holes w/4x 3/16" pilot. Made 3/8" OD x 3/16" ID bushings so AN3 bolts could temporarily hold the engine mount in place. Could then removed one bolt at a time, drill out for the full-size bolt.
