Stock internal plumbing. No safety wiring but very tight fittings that I don’t think would have come off. The brass tube really helps keep the clunk from flipping forward. The front tank fitting was glued in place and had to be dremeled out to fit the Jettech.

Grumania pipes mounted with slotted screws. The latter require proper orientation for the safety wire so they cannot rotate loose

Fuel system plumbing almost done. Kept all this on fuse bottom with pump mounted vertically on the right side. Keeping everything ahead of CG. Still need to mount vent in bottom of fuse

Jetcat I/O board mounted on a platform with a magnet. Then mounted just inside the right side behind a former that is immediately aft of turboprop hatch. Because of magnet release, very easy to pull out if needed or can leave in place for start up

Plywood extensions to support electronic tray placed on both sides. Also used 3/8 x 1/2 inch hardwood supports glued horizontally under front and rear supports. To increase rigidity of the tray (gyro will be mounted on it) I fiberglassed the top of the tray with lightweight cloth and resin. Also added some reinforcement under the tray where gyro will sit to keep out any unwanted vibrations

Retract, brake, and light wires from the wings. Think will make a hole in the black fuel tank cover, place a rubber grommet. Then run wires thru the grommet and secure retract and light controllers on the fuel tank cover

The servo lead from nose steering servo runs straight up and over tray to servo distribution box. To the right you will see the landing light wires tethered to the retract mount wood. That keeps the wires away from nose steering servo arm and the nose strut can cycle without the wires hanging up.

Pilot in my 1:3.5 hawk. I think came from Tomahawk when I ordered the hawk. Not sure if available anymore. Pretty sure will be a good fit for PC-21 but actually haven’t tried it yet. The glue holding down both seats in PC-21 did not hold during shipping and had broken free from cockpit tub during shipping. Only damage was some scratches on canopy

Formation lights working. I have them plugged into a separate channel with same gains as mentioned above. Plugged in a 3S lipo. Working nicely and able to turn as shown above.

Controller wiring on tray above fuel cell. Still need to plug in wings to see which nav light wires go into which JST “Y” connectors. They are all 3V
