Dec 22, 2023 3.0 Air conditioner arrived Category: Air Conditioner
AC arrived today and I spent about an hour inventorying the kit. Everything was included although the 3” skeet tubing needs to be replaced. Quick email to Bill and a new one is one the way. The aluminum bulkhead was also bent a little in two corners but I was able to bend it back with a hand seamer. It's not perfect but good enough. Really impressive kit. Everything well packaged and the evaporator and manifold are both very nicely made plastic. I separated all the FWF items that I won't need for a while and put them away.

Couldnt help but start framing up the evaporator a bit. Marked the longerons and clamped the support plates in place. Drilled the holes. Exciting stuff.

12/24: installed the temp probe into the coil and attached to the side of the evaporator frame. Photos in instructions show electrical connections going forward, but model shows them going back. Going back gives more room so going with that even it meant drilling new holes for mounting. Instruction indicated that was possible. Marked the centerline of the condenser scoop and marked the centerline of the bottom of fuselage.

Loosely mounted the condenser scoop under the fuselage and confirmed a fear. The condenser conflicts with the hole in the bottom of the fuse that I made for the com antenna. I'll have to move it and plug the hole.
