Now a lot of the build stages have been signed off I can start to install the primary power system, avionics and associated wiring. When I got home I had received a parcel from Farry who had sent the outstanding items to finish the installation of the autopilot and wing lockers. A job that I can do next week now.

It’s time to fit the equipment trays so the avionics units and associated wires and cables can be run out to the various sensors to understand the best route.
The populated equipment trays with carriers for the radio and transponder units.
Now for the primary power system cabling can be installed. Each cable is measured, cut and the terminals crimped on with a heavy duty crimping unit.
There are two types of terminal. The main battery relay uses 8mm and the starter relay and starter uses 6mm.
The install so far. Each of the terminals will have a rubber boot that covers the terminal to reduce the risk of anything shorting on them.
Wires, wires, everywhere… The sensor wire are fed out in readiness to install.
Pilot Pooh supervises the works. There’s definitely less on the back shelf and more installed in the aircraft now!
