Aux Power

Dave-
I looked in my maintenance manual and there's an exploded view of the power plug and contactor and mount that attaches to the bottom of the battery frame. The 'architecture' of how it all fits together isn't all that clear but I can scan it and e-mail it if you like.

Re the painting, the stripping on the fuselage is coming along slowly. I've completed most of the removable parts, engine cowlings, panels, etc. For the aluminum prep I'm trying a new product, PreKote, which is a lot easier to use than the traditional acid etch/Alodyne process and a lot more environmentally friendly (supposedly). The U.S. Air Force has become a big user and advocate of it. We'll see how it holds up over a winter of low altitude flying over salt water.

Thanks Joe

Appreciate the help, I am not due back in Aus for some weeks yet. I will look at both service manuals (old and a newer version) I have and check the picture to see how clear it is.

Pleased to hear the painting is going well, for mine the painting is now complete. Next we rebuild all hydraulic rams, after which we can start to assemble the old girl.
