Cowl part 1

Cut the blank for the cowl

Had a visit from my Tech Counselor. He just started flying his
Sonex. He was pleased with what I have done and we had some great
discussions.
|
|
 |
|
|
OK got the cowl in place and stared trying to locate the oil cooler.

A view from the front

One thing I am not sure of is how the duct is attached on the rear.
There isn't much edge distance here. I am going to give Jab a call.
I might end up building it up.
When I talked to them the said to make sure the duct is pushed down far enough. I did that but still don't like the edge distance. I will reinforce it.

Wiring up the Mags. This is the shielded wire to the mag. I
spliced into the shield and then to the ground plane. I like these
little heat shrink joints. The solder flows with the heat gun.
|
|
 |
|
|
This is the wiring for the fuel pressure sender. You need to hook up
a 4.3 V exciter from the EIS with a resistor. Then it goes to the
pressure sender.

CHT gage. This is located on the exhaust side of the cylinder.
You can see there is not much room.
|
|
 |
|
|
I used my dremel and cut the fin.
|
|
 |
|
|
Much better. This is from the Jab website.
|
|
 |
|
|
Another point is how the CHT probe is configured. Here is prior
|
|
 |
|
|
The probe is bent and located between the plug and the washer. This
is how the CHTs are calibrated for the values by Jab
|
|
 |
|
|
It is tough to get a socket on the plugs with the CHT pickup on. I
took a socket and cut it and it works well
|
|
 |
|
|
Here you can see it in action.
|
|
 |
|
|
I used some nylon clamps held on w safety wire to secure the leads.
|
|
 |
|
|
The fit on the end is not real good. I ended up cutting quite a bit
off to get it seated. I will patch this area. You can also see
the CHT leads coming out
