Well the engine mounts are finished so next up is to fit the gauges and build a PWM controller for the fuel pump, hopefully I get started on this sometime next week.

At the moment I am taking a break from the workshop, spent quite a lot of time there this year so I feel like taking some time off during the summer to catch up on the motorcycling and other things. Will be at it again in a month or so, so don´t worry. |

Strangely enough she has never complained about my hobbies, as long as I don´t go there every night or so it is fine with her. We try to give each other plenty of slack so she is free to do what she wants as well (with her pants on of course...), refusing each other to have fun is not exactly our idea of a relationship. I like that girl.  |

Schhhhhh, she might hear you!  ;D I got much work done on the dashboard today, I made it out of 5mm thick aluminum sheet and tig welded sides to it so the cables can be hidden somewhat. It´ll get some paint on it later.  3 bar P2 gauge, TOT gauge, oil temp and oil pressure is what I need to run the engine. Later on I might log T2 and other interesting values with an Arduino but for now this will do.    Cheers! |

I have had an entire weeks vacation from the workshop so I started to feel a bit lazy. I finished the dashboard today, some paint and labels for the switches made all the difference.  Jackson Pollock Jr in action.  Tadaaa!   I also made a small bracket for the TOT probe on the jetpipe from an M6 stainless bolt welded to the pipe and a bent strip of stainless sheet.  A look inside the pipe.  Cheers! |

I like the single unlabled switch... I'm usually the kind of guy who would flip it to see what it does. I'm guessing its a master switch, but knowing my luck it would either be eject or gay porn.

At the moment it is just sitting there, waiting for a purpose for its existence. I might hook it up to a compressor horn later if I don´t find a better use for it. ;D

I started up my little AMT Pegasus engine today, it runs like a charm which was expected since it has a full auto FADEC and was built by someone else than myself. ;D  Managed to piss some neighbours off as well, don´t care much since I am moving the next week. |
