Somehow figured out that 10 lbs. of you know what can in fact fit in a 5 lb. pail!
Now to get going to mount all this stuff.
Glad we have headrest and ceiling panels to mount other stuff that will not fit on instrument module without making it busier than we care for.
I feel satisfied that panel remains somewhat clean and everything is placed to make sense.
We are in the process of getting another digital camera. I-phone pics leave much to be desired when it comes to absolute detail.
*The lower two 1+1/4" gauges are EGTs.
*The rectangle to left is Split Second mixture monitor driven by a 4 wire Bosch O2 sensor.
*Below the Split Second on left is going to be a red warning LED (Red) to tell when mixture control knob for our 914 is other than full rich.
*Below the LED (Red) will be a needle valve that when turned C.C.W. leaks some of the normal airbox pressure that is destined to pressurize carb float bowls (when enrichment solenoid is not activated) to the cross tube on intake manifold downstream of the carbs which is at a lower pressure than is the airbox. Whew.
*To the right under Split second is a warning LED (Blue) that will illuminate when the enrichment solenoid is activated. Solenoid can be activated by the TCU when motor is creating "War Emergency Power" or when the switch that will be below the LED (Blue) is turned on. By turning on this switch and activating the enrichment solenoid, I figure at higher power settings, my gut at the moment is above 50% power it should enrichen things a bit, more rich with higher power setting. By activating enrichment solenoid it completely bypasses leaning circuit.
To the right of red covered TCU switch is stuff for cowl fans, (fan that can expel air through each cowl gill, and a folding prop fan upstream of radiators).
Controls and indicators:
*3 position switch, Fwd, Off, Rev.
*FWD LED indicator when fans operating to aid cooling
*REV LED indicator when fans are operating to hinder cooling (help warm up engine on ground and when restarting after soaring and hopeful remove some cooling drag when in cruise).
*ESP knob. This is a controller from Eric Jones that controls a Jeti E.S.C. (Electronic Speed Controller). It pulse width modulates electron flow to motors.
The Brass pneumatic switch that is located above the Ilec SC-7 variometer will allow switching between Static and TE (Total Energy probe on top of vertical fin).
Just above the Static - TE switch is the knob for a rotary switch. It will allow selection of 6 locations for temperature display on the Ilec SC-7 vario:
*OAT located on port stabilator fairing
*Airbox temperature (914)
*Under instrument module temperature
*#4, #5 + #6 yet to be determined, but under cowl, probably 2 fixed and one with long wire so can move it around.
