Rearrangement / Relocation of PCB Junction Plates and Associated Cables / Plugs
To facilitate access the PCB junction plate attached on the outboard sides of the central
wing saddle have been relocated to be inside and beneath the wing saddle cover plate.
New location of PCB plates in wing saddle and not on removable wing section
By removal of the six screws (screwed into the obeche inserts) the cover plate is removed
and all servicing and checking can be made without recourse to wing / wing saddle removal.
The wings can remain assembled (or easily removed as a unit if required for transport or
other personal reason) but in any case it becomes unnecessary to have to remove and refit
the PCB connections – if they were to remain in their original locations - each time the wings
are removed from the aircraft.
All that is necessary is to detach the usual type plugs between the wing saddle and the
receiver located in the cockpit.
If the wing / saddle unit MUST be removed from the fuselage then the PCB – inserted in a
slot in the wing saddle – can be easily removed – the plugs disconnected and the wings
detached from the saddle.
At a wingspan of 1300 this should only be required if damage has occurred.
