Sat Sep 19 13:29:13 2009 - Fabricated and installed the AFS magnetometer. Sure wish I had done this while the top skin was off. Fortunately, nothing that a lot of blankets, pillows, and a 2x4 propping up the tail (just in case) can't take care of.

Sat Sep 19 17:55:31 2009 - Fabricated the bracket to attach the flap position sensor to the flaps' torque tube. I won't be able to adjust the throw until the wings are on and flaps' extension/retraction has been finalised.

Thu Aug 13 17:18:28 2009 - I'm doing all my panel layout in TurboCAD. I printed a full sized copy and manually stitched all the sheets together. It fit amazingly well. This gave me a chance to crawl in and and some garage flying. I found some problems so back to the drawing board; but this getting very close to the final configuration.

Wed Aug 5 19:50:10 2009 - Decided that while I was here, I might as well install a flap deployment limit switch, too. Things are still relatively accessible, I have the procedure fresh in my head, and the parts to make it happen. If you look closely, the two supports bend out slightly. I do not think that this will be a problem since the side panel will gently push them in - does take much force. If anything, vibration will be concern. If it becomes to much of a problem, plan "b" will be to fab an aluminium tube that is threaded on both ends. The tube would then fit in between the two pieces held by c-sunk screws.
