As part of the upgrade process for the Long-EZ avionics, we briefly removed the right wing today, in order to fit a new coaxial cable for the new transponder. The old transponder coax cable was a massively thick one, the new cable is about half the diameter, with a shiny new transponder aerial also fitted projecting from the underside of the outboard side of the strake. Pictures of the wing removal coming soon...
An impressive box of junk is accumulating in the corner of the hangar, as old hardware is removed from the plane, and new hardware installed. The direct read lines for the fuel pressure and oil pressure guages have been removed from the aircraft, as has the old manual retrac hardware for the nose gear. There will be some sort of "odds and sods" sale soon...
