  Tue Oct 28 18:38:01 2008 - In addition to all the Molex stuff, this was also my first attempt at labeling wires. So far, I'm pleased with all the results.   Tue Oct 28 18:49:38 2008 - The Gretz heated pitot tube with it's Molex connectors. All this will slide in and out of the pitot tube mast for easy maintenance.   Tue Oct 28 19:02:14 2008 - Ok, where do I start. First off, this is the control module for Gretz heated pitot tube. Rather than just applying electricity to the pitot tube, this little guy regulates it and provides cockpit notification if it's "On", "Heating Element On", and "Low Temp". Second, this PCB was held in place with nut-plates, screws, and spacers. A complete disaster if I ever needed to be replace the unit. So I substituted some 6-32 metal stand-offs. Third, I received my order of "Molex" connectors so this my first attempt at using those little buggers - kinda neat but time consuming. I'm sure things will speed up as I get more comfortable.  Thu Sep 18 16:55:25 2008 - Successfully pressure tested both tanks. I think the only think left to do is to rivet on the bottom skins.
