I spent all day getting the Dynon Remote Compass installed. It was very difficult getting my hands and arms into the lightning holes to put brass nuts on the all the brass screws. I also fabricated a mount for the cable clamps and had to climb all the way into the back of the fuselage to get rivets into the fabricated bracket...not an easy task for fat boy. I'm definitely going to have to lose about 50 lbs before I finish this airplane or I won't be able to get it off the ground!
The first image is the fabricated mount using nylon bushing to attain the required 80.4 degree pitch angle. The second image is the double plate I used on the base of the mount. This is held in place with 3 rivets until I get all the brass bolts installed. The last image is the installed remote compass and a fabricated bracket to hold the non-metallic cable clamp. I will permanently route the cables to the Dynon D-60 EFIS after I finish riveting the remaining wing panels.
