Well I am doing my usual: slow and methodical before a few busy days of real work. Today I kept the engine on the hoist up to a near mounted position to look at how things should hook up and how they might interfere. I have decided on locations for the manifold that holds the oil and fuel pressure sensors. I also decided on a rough position for the Dynon manifold pressure sensor, The Dynon sensor and each P-Mag all require manifold pressure lines.
Next I hooked up the 55” cable to the prop lever on the throttle quadrant. This length works great for the prop but I test fit this for the throttle and mixture. It would seem that the 60” will work fine for the throttle based on the 55” I tested with being too short. But the mixture seems too long at 55” so I plan to ask around to see if other made this work. It looks like the 55” can be made to work but there will be a big curve in the cable. The next standard size Van’s make is 48” and I think that would be too short.
I did not have a lot of hands on building (connecting things) but build progress none the less. I think I am ready to mount these final items on the firewall and hang the engine. I still have to wait for the prop governor to come back, I called and it was not broken and they will return it this week.
Deciding on fuel line route to spider from fuel control (brown line)
Only one cabel, this will be very tight to work with once all 3 cables are installed.
