| Brief Description: |
More panel cutouts |
|
|
At this point my avionics selections are set, so no reason not to start cutting out the panel openings. - Made exact sized templates for the EIFS (MGL Xtreme Mini), Z-tron switches/breakers, and the Sandia transponder. - MGL and transponder laid out fine. But the Z-trons were supposed to go underneath the MGL. Through my months of planning I neglected to take into account my center panel is shorter than a standard panel because of the piano hinges across the bottom (to make the panel removeable). So the Z-tron switches had to move to the right. - I also remember there is a second hole in the oil sump plate (the optional aluminum one from Sonex) for an oil return or an oil drain plug. So I located it on the oil cooler shroud (photo 3), to be cut out later. - I also ordered the rest of the parts I need for the fuel system from the firewall forward. |
