Still working on the harnesses, today I did the EFIS and autopilot harnesses. Though they are prewired, they need some tweaking to our configuration. A wire to add here, one to remove there. I the schematics have to be verified every time as they are not errorless.



I also begun thinking about the panel markings. This is just to try the font size on the left side of the panel. The font is a bit too big for the warning lights unless I change the text.



This shows how it looks for the switches below the panel. I don't know yet if the letters will be white or black on a transparent background.

I almost finished the EIS harness. I first did the wiring of some of the sensors (OAT, ammeter, manifold pressure...) before working on the EIS harness I got with the instrument. Some wires are not needed either because I don't need the attached sensor or because the sensor already has a wire attached. I marked all the wires.
The picture shows the EIS side of the harness and the Hall effect sensor for the ammeter.

I first moved the batteyr bus to the right panel rib. This is to shorten the wire between the battery and the bus as the wire will always be hot. I drilled the hole in the firewaal, installed the grommet and fabricated the stainless steel shield.
I also marked the EFIS battery harness (the red wires on the left).



I then installed the auxiliary plugs that get connected to the VHF. This will allow the use of the VHF even without the intercom installed. As they are not for narmal use they are behind the panel on the left side.
I also finished marking the VHF-NAV harness.

I finished marking the AOA harness, begun planning the routing of all the wires. I also planned ahead some minor modifications : move the battery bus to have a shorter wire run, install the auxiliary jacks for the intercom....

Next step on the wiring install is marking the AOA wires.



The microswitch giving the flaps position to the AOA CPU gets its wires.



This is the trim control unit. I could only do part of the marking as some tags were wrong.
I will also have to seriously consider all the wires' routing.
