Today my friend and flight instructor, Eddie, came over to hang out and help with the build. We worked on 3 things: oil cooler, G3X SW update and sensor wiring.
The first task of the day was to install the missing plug for the oil pressure pickup, then we moved on to the oil cooler installation. We riveted together the oil cooler structure and bolted it to the firewall. I decided to install and final torque the oil hoses before installing the engine as things will get tighter in the firewall and I hope I won't need to remove them to finish the installation.
Next, we jumped into the cockpit to install the latest G3X SW. Pretty straightforward task. The G3X system is running version 4.1 now.
To finish the day, we fabricated a wire harness for the manifold pressure and installed it in the GEA24. It was cool to see the PFD showing live Manifold pressure instead of a red cross.
