Lots of small tasks needing to get done. The cable connecting the ELT to the "yet to be determined" GPS source needed a connector on the ELT end of the cable installed. The ELT manual calls for a 3 wire shielded cable from Aircraft Spruce. The connector was supplied with the ACK ELT and it was soldered on. The ELT instructions call for adding RTV sealant in the connector to keep water out. The cable was temporarily installed. New industrial grade high temperature cable ties were ordered for the final installation. To stabilize the connector at the ELT, a WDG-09 P-clamp was installed. Also in the same area, two small #30 holes were drilled for a cable tie to secure the coax cable.

The rear windshield bracket was primed and painted a few days ago. Now that the paint has fully cured, it was cleco'd in place.

Finally, there are areas on the root ribs and butt ribs that needed a coating of the Superflite epoxy varnish. The epoxy varnish was mixed with the catalyst and reducer in a 1:1:1 ratio. Hours: 3
