For some reason I overslept this morning so the day got off to a late start. After trying to decide what to do I thought that as it was on the chilly side but bright, I’d nip across to Malbec and mow the runway. I had to abandon that idea when I found that my ride-on’s battery was totally flat.<\/p>\n

So I then turned my attention to my new high level panel front and this is where I eventually got to with it.<\/p>\n

The picture shows it in its coat of special primer. Tomorrow I’ll give it a spray of light grey and hopefully be able to finish it off with its switches and circuit breakers in place. Each switch has an associated 10A circuit breaker – from the left: fuel pump, radio, strobes. Then on the other side, the landing and cabin lights that share a circuit breaker with the clock\/timer that I’ve ordered from China and will go into the rectangular cutout. On the far right will be the 15A panel master circuit breaker.<\/p>\n

The layout has worked out nicely and I think that it’ll be much nicer and more useful than what was originally in the aircraft. The circuit breakers are a bit higher than I would have liked – I think that 5A for each with a 10A master would have been ample, but I wanted to re-use the ones that were already in place.<\/p>\n

The clock\/timer will have elegant blue digits and as it will have an accuracy of 2 seconds a day and comes with battery backup, there should never be too much of a problem with its being inaccurate. I think that it’ll be handy having it and not having to consult your watch while navigating, but only time (geddit..) will tell \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
