Since I had to mix up some proseal for the AOA ports on the wings, I figured it would be a good time to bond the OAT probe into the intake duct. While it’s not the ideal location for this little doohickey, it’s about the only real place you can put it. This sensor from Blue Mountain is nothing mor than a simple thermister soldered to some wire. It’s not like the fancy Dynon ones that you can actually mount somewhere meaningful, like the underside of the wing. For the kind of money these BMA systems go for, they should at least have a better OAT probe. Yep, the proseal is a bit messy. I’ll clean this up a bit and put some more on once this has set. That way, it won’t be going anywhere fast.

Here’s the stick end of the aileron pushrods. Took some fiddling to get those tiny little washers in there!
