Oct 18, 2023 4.9 GSA 28 Pitch Mount, Antennas and tubing Category: Fuselage
Arranged for help from Brian Decker on my Garmin pitch servo mount.

Researched and ordered pipe thread sealant.

Looked at transponder and GPS antenna requirements in the Garmin GNX375 installation manual. Decided to discuss location with Brian on Friday.

Looked at COM antenna mount requirements in the Garmin GTR200B installation manual. Decided to discuss location with Brian on Friday.

Ellicia and I set one rivet to block an unused hole and three rivets attaching the GSA28 pitch bracket to the fuselage skin. It has been awhile and we were a little rusty, but didn't have to drill out any rivets. I squeezed the four rivets along the bell crank rib stiffener. I had to drill out and replace one since the rivet was too short and didn't meet spec after I squeezed it. I'll set the final four rivets when Brian brings over a long reach yoke.

Opened, inspected and tried the SMC soft nylon and polyurethane tubing with the SMC push to connect fittings. I think I will use the polyurethane.
