The following items were done over several days:
- Permanently installed canopy tip prop rod holder
- Did more sanding on canopy skirt
- Received instrument panel placards from Front Panel express - they turned out great!
- Permanently installed canopy slide rail
- Planned out where all avionics boxes will mount forward of the instrument panel. In the process of doing this I found I was missing the GAD 29 Arinc interface box for the GTN-650 so I ordered one from Steinair
- I also ordered a fair amount of hardware including steel fittings for the firewall penetrations for fuel, brake lines and brake reservoir. Other hardware included plate nuts and screws, etc. for mounting avionics.
- Ordered one of two lithium iron batteries that will mount on the firewall.
- Did a lot of avionics and firewall related research online.
