BATTERY SHELF INSTALLATION LANDING / TAXI LIGHTS
The battery shelf came molded from the factory. I opted to glass and tap hard points on the
bottom so that threaded rods can be screwed from the top to hold the
battery. I installed the shelf in place
with structural epoxy (Aeropoxy), per the manual. I made four holes in the hard points to allow
use of at least two of the most popular battery brands’ sizes. I cut a piece of aluminum from one of the
I-beam sections to use as a strap and secure the battery in place with threaded
rods, lock washers and wing nuts.
I modified the landing light and did not install the base for it in the
nose compartment. I built a modified
taxi light in its place that you can see in the Taxi Light section of the Electrical / Instruments
page. I intend to install separate
landing lights somewhere on the wings.
