A Permit to Test?
Surely not?
But before you get too excited dear readers - there are still a few hoops that I need to jump through before flying can begin.
There are a few small changes to my electrical system that the LAA requested.
Namely:
1. Use a separate fuse and power wire (and both contacts on the switch) for the backup fuel pump. (I already had this initially then at the last minute when wiring up decided to change it to make it simpler, an error on my part as it then became a single source of failure for a backup device).
2. The ability to switch off power to the Main bus (and therefore the Avionics bus at the same time) without switching off the battery (The UL Power engine needs the battery connected when it is running). This function is only for switching off power in the event of an electrical fire.
So I'm working through these changes and finishing off a few other little jobs at the moment.
If the weather gods shine upon us we may see a first flight within 2 weeks.
