Pay attention to every detail and admit to yourself when you don't have the ability to execute something well. You're right on there, Tracy. Most of my problems have been a result of not paying enough attention to details. Must be in the ADD in me, or the need to "get it done". Combine this with relative inexperience in both electronics and engineering, and it's been a struggle. I've tried to pull in expertise when needed, but a few hours is all most people can reasonably give, and that's often not enough. My only excuse is that, with a complex airplane installation there are soooooo many details. It's taking a long time, but it's working out well.... I'm finding ALL the little things you can do wrong for the other non electronics experts and non engineers that try to follow. I'd like to think I'm performing a service. :) Of course, Experimental Aviation is all about learning, and I've done a LOT of that as I've gone along. Just one thing I'd like to add: In all of this you, Tracy, have been an absolute gentleman with utmost patience and understanding. Not once a harsh word or a complaint. I kept breaking stuff. You kept fixing it. My hat's off to ya. It's good policy for a small company to offer top notch service, but it's not in our interests that you go out of business from being too nice, either. At some point you're going to have to start charging for service like this. Feel free to start with me.
