Before working on the wiring, the workshop needs some cleaning and tidying up. I then work on the wires going through the rear fuselage. The magnetometer and trim wires are already installed. I have to wire the rear strobe and rear navigation light. The wires have to go through the rear fuselage bulkheads. These is how the wire exits the rear of the fuselage. The wire will then enter the lower rudder tip through a slot I still have to drill. This is a view inside the rear of the fuselage, the rear being to the right. Ths wire goes through the bulkheads to the front. The nav light will be locally grounded to one of the vertical stab mounting bolts. And a view from the cockpit side. All the wires have now to be tied down. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 59h) |

Before wiring the elevator trim, I finished soldering the wires on the warning lights. It will be impossible to solder them once the lights are installed so I took out the wires already installed and cut the alternator light wire. It will be spliced just before entering the firewall pass-through. I then fabricated the connexion for the elevator trim wires. I want to be able to remove the elevator without removing all the trim wiring. I tried a few connectors and then choose to use a d-sub. The rear part (on the right) is modified so as to go through the different holes without having to remove the pin. The shells will be pro-sealed to the aft deck. I then put all the wires (magnetometers and trim) in some protective net type conduit, it will also allow easier installation. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 56h) |

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. Working time on this subpart Today : 4h (Total : 50h) |
