Chapter 13/22 – Final firewall install

I spent most of the day today prepping and working on finalizing the application of hi-temp RTV to the edges of the CS spar “outriggers” that are exposed to engine compartment heat . . .

And also around the adjacent edges of the titanium firewall and the lower firewall corners.

Of course I had to buy more hi-temp RTV, and since the gray was cheaper, nicer looking (IMO) and good up to 1400° F, I went with that.

Also, note on the upper firewall above that I have installed the ElectroAir coil pack, as well as terminated and installed the left side P9 power CPC connector.

Below we have the right side P10 data CPC connector terminated and installed as well.

Finally, after installing the P9 and P10 connectors, I then applied sound-deadening foam on the aft wall of the headrest/forward side of the firewall.

Tomorrow, if the weather holds, I plan on shooting the black accent stripes on the winglets.

Pressing forward!
