Finish Kit Page 11


Since I have a Garmin Pilot III in the front now I decided to mount my Magellan in the back for the PAX...  I used the holder part RAM mount I had originally bought and an ADEL clamp to mount it to the front seat back weldment...
I used the rest of the RAM mount to install a chart board...  I used countersunk screws and lock nuts to attach it to the board...
And then I simply used one of the panel mount screws to attach the other end to the panel...  The board will stow away under the panel when not in use...
In these pictures you can also see how the stick is cut down to miss the bottom of the panel...
Here is the mirror I bought at Part America...  I made a curved round piece of AL and drilled a hole in the middle for the suction cup mount to come through...
Then I drill two holes on the top and bottom of the AL pop rivets, then match drilled it to the roll over bar...
The mirror will swivel all round so the visibility is great, and it doesn't get in the way of the canopy...
I installed some rudder return springs...  This really helps during taxi to keep from over controlling, and it also helps some to dampen the tail wag in turbulence...  I am even thinking of getting some stronger ones...
One pound Halon Fire Extinguisher...
