When we get a Northwind driven rain, I get some shopfloor flooding via the gap between the concrete pad and the huge hangar door. I tried adding adhesive backed weatherstripping that just seems to get overpowered. So I did more research and ordered 3 ten foot rolls of 1/8" x 3" rubber stripping. I also acquired an impact drill which should really help in the installation (the lower door-frame is 1/16" mild steel). The rolls arrive tomorrow and I hope to get the stuff installed in a day or so.
In order to do the installation (and sweep out the rainwater), I needed to remove the wings from the storage hangers that I installed on the hangar door. So I needed to give the microphone tripod/pvc wing stands a try. I looks like they will work and allow me to have better access to the wings in various positions for covering.
During the arctic cold blast, I was able to get IflyGPS loaded and updated on my iPad Air. I couldn't resist installing it on the panel for a look-see.
The small device mounted on the starboard side is the GPS antenna, The iPad and antenna are connected to a car cigarette lighter USB mounted to the rear of the panel.
