Brief Description:  Update

A lot of work accomplished since the last update.

I finished the wingtip installation including the position and strobe lights. One strobe failed to illuminate at test time due to a pin in a connector not full engaged. Fixed that and all the lights are working (landing, taxi, strobe and position.)

Finished buliding coax (RG-400) cable runs for all the antennas (comm1, comm2, Garmin GPS and the transponder.) Finished all the radio wiring. Power tested the radios and the GPS. I could receive Center and the CTAF in the hangar, but due to my location between hangars no one could hear me transmit. A friend used his hand held and could hear me transmit.

The GPS could not find itself in the hangar, I had to push the airplane outside. It found and connected to six satelites without any problem. I was a little concerned as the GPS puck is in the wingtip. But it seems to work fine.

Next is firing up the EFIS to see if it can find all of its devices.
