Tonight I fixed a avionics issues with the AHRS. Turns out that a coupled of soldered wires came loose. Tracked it down and all is good now.
Finished sniffle valve tube
Installed the mixture control mechanism Alternate air source door Alternator belt tightened and alternator bolts torqued PMag ignition wired up P-Lead to the left magneto wired
Installed the scat tubing to the oil cooler Installed the throttle cable to the fuel injector Installed the prop governor cable to the prop governor
Installed fuel line from fuselage to fuel pump Fabricated oil cooler box Installed fittings into the oil cooler. I order steel Aeroquip fittings from Summit Racing instead of using the aluminum ones provided by Van's. The instructions that came with the oil cooler specifically say to use steel, not aluminum fittings. Some guys that have used the aluminum fittings have had problems with the threads galling Oil cooler inlet box mounted to the oil cooler Oil cooler mounted.
Installed heat shields to protect fuel flow sensor Wired EGT and CHT probes on right side of engine Installed breather tube
All wires secured with Adel clamps...there are ton of work...have I mentioned I hate them!
Heat muffs installed. Joined with scat tubing Scat tubing cut to length Installed scat tubing for cabin heat
Secured ball joints Fabricated and install exhaust support Began installing heat muffs
In order to install the exhaust pipe I had to life up the front of the aircraft with the engine hoist, so that I could disconnect one of the bolts on the nosegear and slide it out of the way. This wasn't in the plans...but a few other builders have run into the same problem Assembling the exhaust pipes Plenty of anti-seize Tailpipe secured with the exhaust hangers Exhaust pipes mounted to the engine.
