Escapade Build Report

Now it is time to begin wiring the components for the engine and avionics.  The EGT probe is drilled into the muffler and the CHT probe is the yellow wire going to the rear left spark plug.

The early steps of wiring the switches.  The two switches on the right are magnetos and the electric ignition.  The next switch to the left is the starter.

The Oil Pressure probe goes at the front of the block near the oil fill hole.  The wire in the picture above will attach to the probe which we are getting from Sonex.

We also are working on the turtle deck.  There will be two "bronzed" Lexan windows in the deck to allow for visibility.

We are connecting the wingtips to the wings with screws inside countersink washers.  When drilling the holes for the wingtips we had to take care to make sure that we hit only the rib capstrip and not the webbing.
