Finish Kit (and others...Final Assembly)

Ailerons, Landing Lights, OAT, etc ( 4 hrs )

Installed Ailerons, connected Fuse to Wings harness (including attaching ground wires to Fuse).  Installed OAT in LH Wing, routed via supports I added to inboard 3 ribs.  Installed Landing/Taxi LED lights (ordered via Vans). 
Ailerons mounted with pushrod to bellcrank connected. 
Exciting to move joystick and watch surfaces move...finally!

Added (months ago) these support
brackets for OAT in first 3 inboard ribs
Outside Air Temp  probe (Garmin GTP 59)
 mounted in LH Wing where Vans provided
pre-drilled hole adjacent to access plate
...and Magnometer.

RH Light installed.  I'm guessing at angular position...
Vans doesn't provide info on how to "aim",
but I'll ask their build support
