Brief Description: Installing the Skyview Transponder Module
I used the two upper forward fuselage ribs as mounting surfaces for the Skyview Engine Monitoring System (EMS) and Transponder slave modules. These ribs are made of relatively thin alclad, so I beefed them up with stiffeners and platenuts.
The Transponder stiffener was tough to rivet, and I scuffed up the primer somewhat. I did go back and reprime before installing the transponder.
