While waiting for my EGT & CHT sensor thermocouple wiring, I decided to make the landing gear leg fairings.
\nFirst I trimmed them according to the template.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I had to make notches in the upper ends, for the clamps that will fix them to the legs.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I trimmed and matchdrilled the hinge halves to the fairings, then countersunk the fairings, deburred and primed the hinge halves.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the primer had cured, I could rivet and test install the fairings.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.
\nThe module has adhesive on the back, but I haven’t chosen were to put it yet.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, my thermocouple wire arrived.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I routed all the sensor wiring from the GEA to the engine probes, careful marking the positions.
\nI used crimp terminals,\u00a0 reinforced\u00a0 with shrink tubing.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of hours later, all my engine wiring is complete.

The last connector installed in the GEA module.
