Unfortunately, the some pitot/static connections have come off and I don't have time to fix them now. Will have at it next time in the shop.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:22 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5650Ann.jpg.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5650Ann.jpg.html

Connection to the new GPS antenna and the nuts on the end of the screws holding the antenna.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:22 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5644Ann.jpg.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5644Ann.jpg.html
Last week of September was spent completing the installation of the WAAS upgraded Garmin 430 & 530. I received the RG400 from ACS. Here, 15 feet of coax has had connectors attached, been coiled up in the panel and has been connected to the radio & antenna.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:22 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5635Ann.jpg.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5635Ann.jpg.html
There's a lot of material to remove on the aft edge. The lower aft curve turned out to require minimal adjustment once the front edge was adjusted. That aft edge proved to be too much for the hand tools. At one point I slipped and put a nice gash in my thumb when it hit the sharp edge created by the Permagrit tool. I need to buy a new belt for my hand belt sander (a tool recommended by LP Aero) to properly tackle this. Time to call it a day.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:22 +0000 http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5633Ann.jpg.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album202/IMG_5633Ann.jpg.html
The Dremmel Tool with the sanding drum worked well to put a nice chamfer on the inside edge. Just be VERY careful using it. It tends to slip off as you approach a corner. I have a couple scuffs from slips. Luckily, all the scuffs and scratches so far are within the bonding area.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:22 +0000
