Antenna Brackets
Today was spent mounting more parts for the electrical system. The XM antenna was mounted in the nose area so Pat can easily remove it IF he want to use XM with his portable GPS in another airplane. There will be connection plug near the antenna so the wiring in the plane will not be disturbed.
The three GPS antennas were also mounted in the plane as well as the starting solenoid.
I also fabricated the elevator trim spring. I’ll check out the flexibility of it after curing and if necessary add more glass to stiffen it up.
Next will be finding a place and installing an external ADS-B antenna (the last one!)
