Cool!

 

Congrats on the Baby!!

 

I had decided to have mine on separate switches as well.  It just seemed
simpler.

Hi Andy

Well- I have been doing all of the wiring based on Bob Nuckolls stuff- and
after getting things set up on my all electric 2 battery, 2 alternator
system, I decided to do a modification requiring still more wiring to simply
run a split master for main and emergency buss instead of the
voltage-dropping diode feed- so got that done, then the Blue mountain EFIS
was giving me bad info on my engine instrumentation, so I had to spend a
bunch of time hand calibrating every one, and then I needed to get the Ed
Anderson engine monitor (great unit) running properly- it had an
unexplainable problem with cutting off when the engine ran up past 3000 rpm-
so last weekend,  with Ed on the phone (on Sunday no less) , I troubleshot
that and got it fixed- I need to use the Air/Fuel ratio function of that
gauge to be able to get the Tracy Crook ECU tuned in- so I am planning to
get some big chocks and get to that this weekend- been busy with work and a
baby on the way, so I get only about 6-8 hours a week on the plane, and when
you are doing wiring, sometimes it takes an hour to just sit and figure out
exactly what you were doing when you shut things down the previous time!!!

Really, there is not that much left on my to-do list- after I get things
tuned, I will start my taxi testing and see if the cooling system is
sufficient and then if it is, I will get the tops of the wings to final
finish and primed (bottoms already are) Cowling finished and  get wheels up!
Maybe I can make Sun N Fun next year at least in primer- will keep fingers
crossed!!

 

Alex

Hey Alex,

 

We've seen your engine run video.  Seen the panel all lit up.  It looked
like you needed to shoot some primer and go kill some bugs with your ship.
:)

 

How is it going?  Jonesing for an update.

 

Andy
