>Where are the other 7??
Knew you'd ask that ! - but still had to go out and look
Firstly there are 4 cans over the ends of the door cone ends to stop water
getting in.
(somene elses suggestion way back, can't remember who)
Then there is a lid one snapped into the top of each control column with PTT
switch (at least until the weapon arming and hud is fitted)..
Then there is one on the deep part of the instrument panel covering the two
main fuses
which project through the bulkhead. Not so much that they should be replaced
in flight (though it might be nice to at least inspect them if you get a
serious electrical failure), but to plug in leads (dummy fuse ends) for
charging a flat battery without taking out all those cowling screws and
exposing the engine on a wet day (which, as is well known always provokes a
flat battery). Or turned round, you can drive your electrical equipment from
a power supply when ground testing without using the battery.
Pity the pip pin holes aren't round or it'd be 11, but thats where the apple
juice lids go.
