Today I did some more wiring. Wiring, wiring, wiring… When will it ever end? I bet even you’re getting bored with it! Today I wired the elevator and aileron trim servo supply and ground wires from the buses. The aileron will be off the main, and elevator off the essential bus. Since aileron is just acting by spring loading the stick, it’s easily overcome if necessary. Elevator though is another story. I also wired the pitot heat, master contactor and tidied up a few loose ends here and there.

Here is the pitot heat relay. An automotive relay is very easy to mount, thanks to the mounting lug with a hole for an AN3 bolt.

Here is my label for the aileron trim speed governor adjustment. It’s under the seat. Elevator is on the other side, under passenger seat.
