Well, it’s been a long time since I did any wiring! I still have some odds and ends to tidy up in the fuselage as far as wiring is concerned, and I need to get them done to get the console in place. My list of things includes the trim wiring, starter wiring, the flap sensor for the AOA Pro, and the flap position sensor. It’s not really all that much, so I should be able to get it all done fairly quickly.

Having said that, lying on my back, upside down under the panel is no fun at all. Aart, Harm, Pimm and Rene, I do not envy you guys and the position you’ve got yourselves in with wiring! It’s hard to reach in there and do this while theplane is on it’s wheels. I’m so glad I got the majority of it done while the plane was still on sawhorses. I spent a lot of time in and out of the plane today running htis one wire. Grossly uncomfortable!

The only wiring I got done today before going home was the starter contactor. It’s now fully wired apart from the wire to the starter. Everything tested out great.
