Install the Electronic Trim Servo Option (ETO)

Installed the male-end of a 5-pin waterproof connector on length of 8-wire cable and matching female-end to the 4 wires of the elevator trim servo cable. Cable connector will be located in the aft fuselage (added to aid installation/removal of h. stab & elevator structure mating to fuselage). Added the male-end of a 2-pin waterproof connector to 2 of the remaining 3 wires in the 8-wire cable and matching female-end to the 2 wires of the tail-light assembly ready for mounting in the rudder. The last wire (8th, orange) of the cable is unused. These connectors work well in marine applications and I have several more 2-pin connectors to be used in installing the wing-tip navigation/position lights, angle-of-attack sensor, fuel level transmitters, and possibly a landing light

AOA Instrument build complete



Andrew finished the AOA kit build and discussed the installation. Suggested that I seal the sensor board since it will be in the slip-stream (mounted among the port side jury strut. Purchased silicone circuit board sealer for the job.

Researched iFlyGPS iPad Air Software

Visited with Chris at iFlyGPS in McKinney. He loaded the software on my iPad Air and gave some instruction. I have a 30-day free trial period, but the application looks good for my IFR usage. The company (and Chris) were most helpful and are close by so I'll probably go with this application.
