Amazingly more wiring today! Next on the list is the trim system. Once that’s complete I’ve arranged to get some help to fit the tailplane and then finishing off with making a start on wiring the ignition switch.

Most of the Dynon connectors consist of a loom of wires but they’re not normally terminated so require the pins to be crimped on with a 4 jaw crimping tool.
Partially populated but a lot more wires to add.
Fitting the tailplane requires 2 people. It locates on 2 pins that ensures the correct placement. All paint and debris needs to be removed and then greased before attempting to fit the tailplane No pictures of the process as it was quite tricky to fit.
Job done. The tailplane is secured by 4 bolts that are torqued and up before being wire locked.
Next a start on the magneto switch wiring. The two connectors have two holes that are wired and run to the ignition switch.
The wiring of there were very difficult and didn’t go to as I expected. The instructions give the impression that the pins can be slipped into the plug whilst they are still connected but this wasn’t the case. They needed to be separated first before the pins could be inserted. Took about an hour to sort this out.
The engine wiring is now complete and look quire neat.
