I leave the wiring for today's session as Guillaume almost volunteered to help rivetting. After one hour and a half we had rivetted all the rivets I could not buck solo on the upper skin.
I then finished the reamining rivets alone.



The clips for the static line must no be forgotten.
A few rivets at the front near the canopy brace proved impossible to buck. I did as many others and used pop rivets.

I first install some missing items on the panel, this is the EIS whowe purpose it to collect all the data from the sensors.
I try to explore the setup to check if it's functional. The picture shows the MAP at 29,7 inHg and the AMPs whose value is not correct.



I want to check that the EIS is communicating with the EFIS. After a few tries the outcome is positive.
The screen shows the MAP at 29,70inHg, the EGT, CHT and OAT around 70°.
It also shows the voltage.
There is still a lot left to do to get all the settings correct.







I then decide to test the battery and starter relay.
No problem for the battery relay, but the starter relay refuses to "click". After some research I find that the problem is an incorrectly soldered wire on the start button.
After having soldered the wire back, the relay clicks finally.

The essential bus wiring is straightforward as there are only a few wires left over to crimp. I had to replace one of the wires from the panel that I had cut too short, but it proved to be a non-event.

Two hours to wire the main bus, one or two wires are missing as they lost their markings.
The fuses will be installed each time one circuit gets tested.

I first rearrange the wirings runs along the floor and crimp some missing terminals.



The intercom will be done later so I now have to wire the fuse blocks



And after having installed the EFIS and flipped the corresponding switch, here is the result.
