Apr 24, 2021 Magnetometer Mount Category: Wings
After building the other mounts, I felt ready to tackle the one for the magnetometer. It needs to be in the same attitude as level flight so there was that consideration as well as I wanted to be able to remove it should I need to later and finally to see how many clamps I could use to glue up the frame. Last but not least the connector assembly for it is a bit long since the CANBUS termination is in line so I wanted room to support the assembly. When the wings were attached to the fuselage and it was leveled, I drew a line on at the end of the wing that was also level so that I could place the wing in the level flight attitude when the wing was not on the fuselage. In one of the pics you can see a stick that is clamped to a rib that allows me to set a level on it and check it. Got the magnetometer mount done and the initial glue up with CY glue. Tomorrow I will start filling in with epoxy to give it a bit more strength.
