Prep for Fuselage Covering

In preparation for covering the bottom of the fuselage, we are taking care of things that would be more difficult to do once the fabric is in place.  Some of the rudder pedal bolts will be difficult to access once the covering is completed, so we torqued the rudder pedal bracket bolts to the correct specification, and marked it with orange Torque-Seal.

We also fastened some of the wiring that runs to the ELT more securely, and added protective plastic guards to aluminum metal edges to protect against inadvertent chafing if the wire should contact it.  In addition to this, we also torqued and marked the bolts that secure the ELT to it's tray.
Hours: 2.5
ELT wiring secured
