Today I did some leather conditioning. Cleaning off the excess from my conditioning a month or so ago and doing a couple small pieces.
Also reached out to Abby at Flightline Interiors to see about reconfiguring the side panels to get the oxy units away from the legs of the front seats. Also shot an email off to SteinAir to check out the SL-30.
Installed the pilot seat, at least for now, to double check stick clearance and check wire routing.
Lastly I started building a temp battery connection to help with ground power for now. The original PC680's that I got a long time ago are both shot at this point. Not really surprising. I plan on using EarthX LiFePo batteries for the final solution but I don't want to get them until I'm close to flying. So for now I've made a harness that will use an Anderson style connector to connect a standard deep cycle battery and provide up to 30amps for ground testing. This is a bit more reliable, and less risky, than putting a big charger on the PC680's. This deep cycle should provide a couple hours with everything powered up and can then slow charge with a 2amp charger when not being used.
