We finally put our N-number (N371EM) on the airplane. These were vinyl letters that are the same color as the green stripe. We also added the Just Aircraft logo to the tail, which was a decal supplied by the factory

After waiting a few months, we finally received a new (optional) heatsink kit for our Rotax voltage regulators which we installed. Several builders have issues with high temperatures from these regulators which can cause damage to the regulator connectors, and this retrofit (approved and sold by Rotax) helps with this issue. We expect that this will solve any issues, but we also have the option of ducting cool air to the regulators if early testing indicates they are getting too warm.

We assembled the aileron cables, using nicopress sleeves and thimbles at the attachment points. A turnbuckle was installed on both the right and left cables behind the seats. This is where the cables running from the wings attach to the cables running to the controls.

We also installed a turnbuckle for the aileron pass-thru cable that attaches the two down-aileron cables from each wing. Hours: 15
