Project: BuckRV-8     -     Entry

Apr 25, 2020 4.1 Baggage wall; transducer manifold; fuel lines; aileron trim Category: Fuselage
1. Test-fit the forward baggage wall, then removed it and did some trimming and finishing work. Analyzed how I might be able to run an oil cooler shutter control through the avionics hell-hole, and mount the knob on the back side of the wall.

2. Fabricated the stiffener that goes on the back side of the firewall, then installed the transducer manifold on the front side of the firewall. (Have I mentioned before that drilling through stainless steel is a pain?)

3. Cleaned and inspected the two fuel lines that go from the fuel pump to the fuel flow transducer, then from the transducer to the firewall fitting. Installed clear protective tubing on these lines, since they will be subject to some occasional contact due to where they are located -- just inside the pedal access hatch.

4. Began installing the aileron trim system, and planning the wiring runs for the trim servo. (No photo).
