Sep 25, 2022     Left wing and fuel tanks       Category: Wings
I have been working to catch the left wing up to the right wing to include securing the wiring and the protective sleeves. The biggest thing I need now is to 100% decide what kind of avionics I want so I can purchase the pitot probe and install it. I think I am going to go with Garmin. My kit came with an unheated probe, apparently by mistake, but I am going with a heated/ regulated probe. I decided regulated because it will use less power after it gets to temperature compared to the unregulated. Looking at some power consumption it looks like I will be very close to the 80% capacity of the generator installed on the rotax 915IS engine.
After working on the wing I started on the left side fuel tanks. Before I got started I did find that Sling has released an updated build manual and some of the rivet directions have changed and they have added some lock washers on the AN fuel fittings. I have requested those washers and am getting everything else done on the tanks that I can, which is most of the tanks.
