Coaxial Cable Hanger Bracket

The communication antennae that was built inside the Vertical Stabilizer and runs to the panel in the cockpit needed custom built attachment points. Since my plane is made from composite, it became minor obstacle to create attachment fittings

I used leftover sections of composite panel and cut them to 2" x 1" sections The composite boards are nearly a 1/4 inch thick. I then took an AN3-4 bolt and traced the outline of the bolt head on one side of the composite tabs I cut from the left over stock. Using the tracing marks I then proceeded to cut out the tope layers of fiberglass and removed the core material within to allow for Milled Fiberglass "flox" to be packed in and around where the bolt head would be held.

Next, I inserted the bolt head through the tab where I made sure to keep the top of the bolt head flush with the surface of the tabs. After they cured, I then proceed to measure the correct spacing per the Standard Aircraft Handbook instructions for supporting coaxial cables.

The instruction required each tab to be spaced at two foot intervals in order to keep the cable from having to much slack. Once the bolt heads cured in the tabs I added an Adel clamp of each tab followed by a AN3 fiber lack nut.

I prepped the inside of the fuselage surface for bonding the tabs. I will now proceed with the install of the coaxial cable.

Moving on along steadily I can start to see the faintest hint of light at the end of the tunnel of completion.
