Jan 15, 2008     Seat attach nutplates; Flap microswitches - (3.2 hours)       Category: Fuselage
The first thing I did this evening was finish installing the nutplates on the forward floorboard and the front seat pan. There are still some more nutplates to be installed in the floor structure itself.

Next, I designed and fabricated an attach angle and a striker plate for the two flap microswiches. The angle will be bolted to the bulkhead just aft of the flap motor, and the striker plate will be attached to the flap arm. When the flaps are up, one of the switches will cut off power to the "up" part of the flap circuit so the flap motor shuts off, and the other switch will signal the trim system to go to "cruise" mode (which will lower the sensitivity of the trim at higher airspeeds).

At about this time, I ran out of fuel for my shop heater. It got cold pretty quickly in there.
