Wingtips and final empennage fairing
I put the fiberglass wingtips on the other day, at least with a few screws. All the lights are connected, too, so it was a great opportunity to test everything out. I wish I’d taken video, but I verified that all these work:
- Position lights (red and green LEDs on the wingtips and a white on on the tail)
- Strobe lights (again, one on each wingtip and one on the tail)
- Landing lights (one in each tip). I also verified the pulsing system works–we used this one: http://www.xevision.com/hid_pulsing.html
With the battery and power supply hooked up, I also took the opportunity to test the pitot heat.
We also installed the last of the empennage fairings: the lower rudder fairing. This one contains the tail/strobe unit, so we had to run the wires back there. It’s all hooked up now, with a 9-pin D-Sub connector in the fairing.
