I put the plane back up on jacks and slowly enlarged the mounting holes up to #19 for a #8 screw while adjusting the wheel pants to be perfectly aligned with the longitudinal axis of the plane. \u00a0They were off a little bit when I started which is probably due to the epoxy\/flox shims slightly shifting the position of the pants from when I first drilled them. \u00a0Since my brackets are stainless steel, I needed to use a fair amount of pressure to drill these, so I backed them up with some wood to prevent them from flexing in as I drilled.<\/p>\n

After drilling these out, I pulled the wheel pants and gear leg fairings off the plane and to the plane back off the jacks so it’s ready for flight again.<\/p>\n

Dynon recently released two new boxes that work with the SkyView system: one to provide dedicated knobs to control the altitude bug, heading\/track bug and barometric pressure and another to provide a set of dedicated autopilot controls so that you don’t have to navigate through various menus to control it. \u00a0I’m mounting these in my radio stack with the outer edges flush with the other boxes in the stack. \u00a0This leaves enough room in the center for another small device if I want to add one. \u00a0I laid out for the holes, but it was too late to start cutting into the panel. \u00a0Once I have these mounted, hooking them up to the SkyView network will be pretty straightforward since I can just daisy chain them between the displays.<\/p>\n
