Tonight, I wired the flap switch on the panel, and hooked the wires to the co-pilot terminal strips. So, it’s all working now from the panel and the pilot stick. The co-pilot stick will be working when it’s connected. Why do we need all these switches on the sticks when even the person stowed in the baggage compartment could reach the switch on the panel?!! Don’t ask. Initially, I thought it’d be cool, but now I’m thinking it’s too much work! I also ran the PTT switches to the avionics stack.

Well, the rest of the evening was spent helping Mike put some wings on another RV-7. Good experience for me, since I’ll be doing that on mine sometime. Who knows when.
