8/12/08 - Antennas - 4 hrs

I'm trying to anticipate the things that I might wish I would have done before I secure the rear seat skins in place. I went ahead and ran conduit. I also determined that it would be best to place my primary COM antenna as well as my transponder antenna underneath these rear seats. Since I want to be able to inspect the connections, I decided to add little access hatches as well.

   
 
   
 
   

 

   
 
   
 
   
 
   

8/16/08 - Antennas, etc - 8 hrs

With the antennas in position I was able to finally run the coax and place the insulation under the rear seats.

   
 
   
 
   

Here's a hint: don't forget to install the steps before you rivet the baggage skins in place. I got about half way done before I realized that I had removed the steps to avoid kicking into them. So I had to drill out about 50 pop rivets.
