05/04/2009 - Wiring up and
testing the pitot
I had
bought some components
 |
small
30A battery from Halfords
|
 |
Wire
and connectors from Steinair
|
 |
Misc
Switches and breakers from all over
|
 |
Annunciator lamp from Aircraft Spruce
|
 |
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
