Finishing off the trim wiring, fitting and wiring the control stick grips,
After a lot of head scratching the trim system is finally wired just need to wire up the control sticks to finish off a very long day.The Bristell trim kit supplies G405 stick grips but I wanted to add a autopilot disconnect switch on the stick so went for the G407 instead.It’s suggested that that the stick grips are riveted to the stick but I think it better to drill and tap so you can remove them easily at a later stage if required.I’ve used M3 button head screws to secure the top.The stick grips are slid onto the control stick but are a very tight fit so require a bit of lubrication to ease the process.With the stick grips fitted I just need to wiring them up. Pleased with the result so far..Another batch of wires. This time eight the need to be soldered together. The only difficult bit it mapping the differing colours between the control stick and the wires that are connected to the trim controller.Soldering complete just need to record the colour mapping for my documentation.
