Fairing sanding

Tonight I feathered the forward edge of the canopy fairing down to the aluminum skin. I decided to leave this where it is for now, and have Dad check it out when he visits in July.

I moved on and installed the canopy unsafe micro switch, and the avionics fans on the glare-shield. None of these are wired up yet, I’ll get to that later.

Two avionics fans, which are cheap and simple cpu-cooling fans.

Canopy-unsafe micro switch housing
Micro switch visible in the housing. The left side canopy locking pin pushes through the canopy frame a depresses the switch when latched. This will send a signal to the G3 system to indicate when the canopy of closed and locked, and when it is unlatched and unsafe for flight
