Mounting of Hyd. Pump.



In my airplane I decided to mount the hydraulic pump on a bulkhead I made

about 6 inches behind the passenger seat. I cut an access panel out of the

seat back that can be easily removed to service the pump. This location

will help with the CG and it makes the whole installation much easier and

simpler. On the other side of the tunnel and behind the pilots seat I

intend to build another bulkead with a removeable panel and install the ELT

and the power supply for the strobes.



I got this idea from a builder in England (Michael Fopp) and it seems to

work very well.

Thanks Michael!!
