    What did you do on your airplane project today?

    Wiring tested and found one missing ground and two pins in the wrong connector. This is why we inspect. We started head scratching on running the plumbing with manifold blocks.

    What did you do on your airplane project today?

    I thought about all that and thus added that standoff on the outboard side. This is the trim servo and the weight is minimal. I’m not exactly happy but am satisfied. I’ll be looking for some rectangular cushion clamps for future modifications. The pitch servo has the vertical orientation and is...

    What did you do on your airplane project today?

    I got back to my autopilot project. I cleaned gunk out from under a shelf that the 400B computer sat. This spot hasn’t seen daylight since 1977. I want a sanitary place to locate my pitch and trim servos in my tailcone. I also cleaned the trim tab actuator chain and got it all lubricated. I ran...

    What Did You Do To Save General Aviation Today?

    I’m on a 2 week sabbatical and left them in good hands. Second wing on the table with the tip on the first going on. Cockpit cage is well into the prep stage. Avionics package should arrive from Steinair before I return, and the engine is to arrive in February.
