Today I was able to spend a few hours working on the airplane. I managed to get all of the control cables installed and routed. I appear to have a control interference issue between the pilot stick and the throttle, and looks like I need to remove half an inch off of the left control stick. However, I need to measure the amount of throw in the aileron pushrods, because it might be that the stick can’t actually move that far horizontally before the bell crank hits its limit.
I was able to connect the prop and alternate air controls, and the mixture and throttle connected. I can’t connect the heat flap actuator until I finish drilling some holes in the bottom cowling.
The routing through the wiring under the panel worked out ok. The prop control was just barely long enough, but I think it’ll work ok. I have loosely connected it for now to ensure I have the right length and throw on the lever. The alt air works great, and the mod from aircraft specialties, allowing the door to open and close, is a nice upgrade.
