ADAHARS plumbing and misc avionics: 8 hours

The following items were done over several days. We lost power on Tuesday and Wednesday due to Hurricane Irma.

  • Crimped on coax antenna connectors for ADSB receiver, transponder, GTN-650 communication radio, and one end of the GTN-650 nav receiver. I need to drill some holes before I can run the nav antenna cable to the left wing root. I also spent a good deal of time planning wiring runs.
  • Finished ADAHRS plumbing using a combination of Safeair1 and Steinair pneumatic connectors.
  • Installed about 16 click-bond wire tie anchors in the area under the seats for routing wires and securing connectors near the wing roots.
  • Used some click-bond acrylic adhesive to bond on two terminal blocks (10 positions total) for connecting stick grip wiring. 
  • I started working with the instrument panel label placards - there are a few I have that are only held in place by one switch or button so in order to keep them from rotating I bonded them on with a tiny amount of e6000 adhesive.
