After a preliminary W&B done last week, the CG was now somewhat aft. After all, I had removed almost 40 lbs (18 Kilos) from the instrument panel and another 7 lbs (3 kilos) from the engine compartment. So I pulled the battery from below the baggage

But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

The obvious place to begin weight reduction was the ridiculously heavy instrument panel. Removed it and put the Garmin radios, etc. up for sale. Meanwhile, I began to lay out the instrument configuration in the old panel.

Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

The GRT Sport has arrived and almost all the instruments have been set in their panels. This is a test fit. It was necessary to adjust the big opening in the main for clearance of some of the various instruments.

The nasty job of bleeding brakes. How do you do it without assistance? You get out the inspection camera and point the camera head at the brake reservoir.
