Panel installed

Mounted strobe power supply

Finished mounting the strobe power supply in the tail and spent lots of time cleaning up the shop.



(Time: 30 mins)

A few minutes of wire cleanup

Wired the transponder lighting circuit back to always on since the GTX320 won't work with the LC-40 dimmer system I have. No biggie, lights will be always on.

Miscellaneous wiring

I wired in the entertainment audio jack and tested out the MP3 player... it works.

I did some other miscellaneous wiring and screwed on the panel for the last time I think. I wired up the low level fuel warning system.

My brake line system has been springing leaks all over. I had a leak at the right brake caliper, so I tightened that up. I noticed that I had some fluid on the floor underneath the brake reservoir, leaking from the fitting that goes into the resevoir. Then last night I saw fluid underneath the parking brake valve. I wiped it clean as I couldn't tell where it was leaking from.

Refreshing memory

Finally back out in the workshop to do some work. It's been over a month since I've done any real work on the plane. It's been hard to get back into the building groove.

-- Put some labels on some wires that didn't have any. (Had to trace them to figure out what they were!)

-- Worked on installing the strobe power supply. Put the molex connectors on the wires. Made some z-bracket mounts so mount the power supply on the floor just behind the baggage wall.
