While waiting for my EGT & CHT sensor thermocouple wiring, I decided to make the landing gear leg fairings.
First I trimmed them according to the template.
Then I had to make notches in the upper ends, for the clamps that will fix them to the legs.
I trimmed and matchdrilled the hinge halves to the fairings, then countersunk the fairings, deburred and primed the hinge halves.
After the primer had cured, I could rivet and test install the fairings.
I also chose to add a Bluetooth receiver to the stereo-in port on my COM radio. The G3X has a very nice music function, with options like auto muting when speaking on intercom, radio Receive/Transmit ect.
The module has adhesive on the back, but I haven’t chosen were to put it yet.
Finally, me thermocouple wire arrived.
I routed all the sensor wiring from the GEA to the engine probes, careful marking the positions.
I used crimp terminals, reinforced with shrink tubing.
A couple of hours later, all my engine wiring is complete.
The last connector installed in the GEA module.
All temp sensors are now online.. 🙂
