I’ve been sick as a dog for the last week and am only just starting to feel more like myself. Sorry for the lack of updates. Now back to our regularly scheduled build!
Rudder & brake pedal assemblies mounted to fuselage. I choose the middle of three positions and am hopeful that, in combination with the three possible seatback positions, I won’t have to move them. Ever.
Sets of longer-than-standard rudder cable links which I had waterjet from .050 4130. I only needed one set of four, but the shop managed to cut 11 sets from the sheet of steel I supplied, so I’ve listed the other ten sets for sale. Five have already sold.
Brake lines going in. These are the slave lines from the firewall-mounted reservoir to the right-side master cylinders.
These are the crossover brake lines connecting the left and right sides.
The main brake lines running from the left-side master cylinders out to each gear leg. From there (on each side, of course), the gear leg lines will run down to each main wheel brake.
The left-side rudder cable sleeve securely Adel-clamped to the tunnel side. Securing those clamps with their severely access-restricted nuts was a bear!!!!
Right-side rudder cable sleeve secured in position.
The final version of my panel. I expect to give the go-ahead to the avionics shop very shortly. Currently tracking a late March delivery.
