Few different things going on today.
First, I had to replace one of the electrical shunts on the firewall, as I broke a screw off in one of them the first time I tried to install it. After that, I had to add some fuse holders in the sensor lines that lead to the shunts, to protect the expensive electronics on the other side of the firewall.
Next, I made a slight change in the routing of the Lightspeed sensor wires. I had bundled them together in front of the front baffle… but as these are supposed to back each other up in the case of an issue, I figured that keeping them separated as much as possible would be a good thing. The failure that I was thinking of that might be able to take out both wires (leading to an engine failure) would be something like an alternator belt shredding, and catching and breaking the wires. To protect against a scenario like that, I separated the wires more, and actually buried one of the wires in a protective layer of RTV. That should prevent anything from snagging the wire.
Finally, it was on to the wing. I started replacing the TruTrak autopilot servo with the Garmin GSA 28 servo, but I found that I needed a different mounting bracket. I’ll need to order that from Stein. But I did finish up with pulling all the wires for the wing.
