I was called out on a trip to Beijing the last afternoon I was working on the plane so I am now back ready to get started again. I was looking over my work and realized that I never ran the wire that connects all of the strobe lights for synchronization. Without this wire the lights will flash at their own individual times, with the wire they will flash simultaneously, which is better for being seen. I had contemplated not connecting this wire because when I bench tested the lights they all seemed to flash together anyways but the wire does not weigh much so I installed it.
I added a new hole on the right side to get another bundle of wires into the battery bay. I have used up most of the room in the other holes and I still need to run all of the EMS wires to the engine. I also have the ground wires from the instruments to run to here.
The last thing I worked on was a bracket to hold the pitot and AOA lines, the design is based on an aluminum bracket that will hold a slit piece of nylon block that will sandwich the two tubes between the two halves. I made a cardboard template of the aluminum bracket that will hold the nylon block and gave it a test fit.
Paper template is the aluminum part that will hold 2 piece nylon block around tubes
