But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

After a preliminary W&B done last week, the CG was now somewhat aft. After all, I had removed almost 40 lbs (18 Kilos) from the instrument panel and another 7 lbs (3 kilos) from the engine compartment. So I pulled the battery from below the baggage

Maybe by the end of the week I can have the shell installed and wired into the aircraft so I can plug these into it. We'll see. These 26ºF (-3.3ºC) mornings have been limiting me to only 4 or 5 hours of afternoon work a day.

You can see the bubbles of air coming from the brake line as you push fluid in from below. You can also manipulate the brake master to assist the flow of air out of the system.

And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.
