Apr 15, 2024     Wingtip Nav and strobe Lights - (1.5 hours)       Category: Lighting
I installed the connectors on the lights. I had to enlarge the holes in the wingtips as the connectors wouldn't fit. I then attached the lights on the wingtips.


 
Apr 11, 2024     Installed Connector For Light on Tail - (.5 hour)       Category: Lighting
We installed the connector on the top of the fuselage to connect to the vertical stabilizer.


 
Apr 11, 2024     Finished Installing Vertical Stabilizer Light - (4 hours)       Category: Lighting
We had to enlarge the hole between the light mount and the stabilizer top fairing so the connector would fit behind the light. We then installed the light.


 
Apr 10, 2024     Updating Schematics - (3 hours) Category: Lighting
Chirs worked on tracking the drawings manual with wire colors etc. He updated the CAD files to reflect these updates.
 
Apr 10, 2024     Light on the Rear of theA Vertical Stabiliser - (4 hours)       Category: Lighting
We drilled a hole through the top of the rear fuselage skin where it will be under the vertical stabilizer. We installed a grommet and passed the wire through. We then created wire mounting points from the bottom of the fuselage to the access hole and zip-tied the wire out of the way so there was no possibility of the wire becoming tangled in the control cables in the rear. Taylor then built a recessed connector bracket for the wire coming from the light down the stabilizer. This will connect with the wire up from the fuselage. We will also install a connector to the light for easy removal.


 
Apr 09, 2024     Pins on the Nav Lights - (.5 hour) Category: Lighting
I put the female pins on the wing tip nav/strobe lights.
 
Apr 09, 2024     Installed Landing Lights - (8 hours)       Category: Lighting
Mounted the brackets, installed the electrical connectors on the lights, and put the lights in the wing. We also installed electrical connectors on the cables in the wing. After the lights were mounted in the wing, we installed the lenses using clear silicon.


 
Apr 08, 2024     Landing lights - (1.5 hours) Category: Lighting
We located the lights and installation brackets. We Spray-painted the brackets black. Chris found his wiring diagram and the connectors and pins he wanted to mount on the lights. Taylor and Chris identified the wires we are using and which need to be terminated. The Wig-Wag function is handled by the ACM, which was provided by Advanced and so doesn't need additional wiring.
 
Apr 08, 2024     Wing Tip lights - (2 hours)       Category: Lighting
I located the Nav/Strobe wingtip lights. I enlarged the holes that the wires pass through so that a connector will fit. This is so you can remove the light with out removing the tip.


 
Feb 22, 2024     Wiring - (7 hours)       Category: Lighting
Brenden continued wiring. Worked on ELT and created wiring blocks for the left and right wings.


 
Oct 04, 2023     Wiring to ACM module - (6 hours)       Category: Lighting
Brenden continued the wiring project. He created the connector for all of the lights so that they could be plugged into the ACM.


 
Sep 28, 2023     Wires for the Lights - (4 hours) Category: Lighting
Created connectors for the wires to the lights so that they can be plugged into the ACM.
 
Sep 21, 2023     Routing of Wiring. - (4 hours)       Category: Lighting
The wiring was routed and mounted underneath the baggage area. A new hole was made in the closeout behind the passenger seat so the wires can pass through with out blocking the main gear nuts.
