Title: Built a center console box, installed a heater
All of a sudden, I have a lot less time. A couple of weeks ago, I took a job as the Sales and Marketing Manager for The Airplane Factory in Torrance, CA, which of course is the North American distributor for Sling. It has sucked up a lot of my time and I am loving it! My intent with this log, though, is to continue to put in the good, the bad, and the ugly about the build process. So far, mostly good (other than Rivnuts in QB fuselages), and I expect it will stay that way. With that said, let's talk center console boxes! I felt the need to get something accomplished, and I'm glad I worked on the center console box because I now see where a lot of the rivets for the seat rails end up. I'll need to drill out some, but that won't be a huge problem. There were more rivnuts here, too, but they are super simple to install when they assembly hasn't been built yet. It was also pretty nice to see how it is going to work together with the throttle quadrant. I also installed the heat exchanger for the heater. I misread the instructions a few times and ended up with one of the heater hoses having a cut in the middle, but putting a union in there with some zebra clamps fixed that no problem. I will need to get more zebra clamps later, but that is a problem for another day!
