05/04/2009 - Wiring up and testing the pitot

I had bought some components

 

bullet

small 30A battery from Halfords

bullet

Wire and connectors from Steinair

bullet

Misc Switches and breakers from all over

bullet

Annunciator lamp from Aircraft Spruce

bullet

Battery master solenoid from Uk aircraft parts
 

And so I decided to build a test rig fro the pitot, which also meant I started to learn how to put all this together without blowing everything!!.  After some trial and error I managed to get the simple circuit to work and thus get the pitot to heat up and the warning lamp to come on as well.  

 

 

 

The rest of the day was spent fitting and aligning aileron and the preliminary work for fitting the flap by drilling the hinge and getting that ready to be taken away fro priming
