Brief Description:  Lights, switches, hobbs +

1) Installed nutplates on the lefthand F804N channel cover (top section) incase I need to mount something there later.

2) Located and drilled holes for front and back map light switches and interior flood light switch. See picture 1. The top section of the pic shows the rear seat map light switch located on the right side near the cross bar attach. The middle section shows the front seat map light switch located on the center section above and behind the throttle. Again I'm trying to put as many switches as possible that will be used repeatedly in flight near my throttle hand - no autopilot. The bottom section shows the floodlight switch. The idea here is to had one switch that is on the hot battery bus that will allow all of the lights inside the airplane to come on for loading and unloading at night (panel lights, interior lights, map lights, baggage lights front and rear). The switch is just under the canopy seal on the left side so it is easily accessable when you get in or out of the airplane.

3) Installed the baggage lights in the front (2) and rear (1). I will likely add another to the rear baggage once I figure out where and what kind of light. I used those light eyeball LEDs for the baggage lights.

4) Installed the hobbs meter in the right hand subpanel.
