There I was, flat on my back...
....in the footwell of the RV-6. Thankfully, it was only 100 degrees on the
ramp and 110 in the hangar.
On a happier note, those 5 minutes spent under the panel allowed me to
install a decent 12V power receptacle to replace the junker I'd bought at
the auto parts store. Ooh the joy of technology that should have been
simple enough to work the first time.
Now, my GPS works off of ship's power and I can hook up the battery tender
to the always hot outlet! And speaking of hot, it really was hot here
today. The RV flew well, even if the oil temperature did register over 100F
on start-up.
