Update - miscellaneous tasks completed.

Vance was out on Friday and commented "that's a lot of switches" on the panel.  He asked questions about their functions and how I was going to "check the mags".   :-)   I explained that there were two banks of 5 switches.   Either or both bank switches up should provide redundant electrical power, spark and fuel to the engine.   

The Aveo Nav/Position/Strobe lights are mounted on the wings with wires pulled through the conduits and terminated to 5-flat trailer hitch light connectors.   Wiring is run through the spar to the firewall with Fast-on terminals on the blue strobe synch wire that can easily be connected.   A relay was used to test at the end of the strakes for power.

Dynon software was updated with a version that corrects a scrolling issue for the VPX interface.

Fuel cap retaining anchors and SS beaded chain is being installed.

The throttle's microswitch for the automatic landing brake retraction circuit was installed.

The K&N air filter was mounted.

There's about 75 items left to complete before first flight.
