Electrical Part 2

	27 Mar 07	Not many pictures lately but I have been making some progress. Lots of clean-up items, like this, getting the wiring neatened up for the fuel pump install. Lots of work on the firewall as well so I can move the project to the garage for the engine mount. Next on the agenda is the engine mounting, and install, finish the canopy, and a bunch of clean-up in the fuselage.
	27 Mar 07	Still working along a little on to neaten the bundles. Although tedious, it seems to work well. I also have most of the wiring in front of the panel to do.
	25 Mar 07	Not much to report on the electrical side as I've been trying to get the airframe stuff to a point where I can start the engine work. At this time the electrical system is about 95% and I've been taking time here and there, to neaten the wire bundles. I decided I didn't want to stay with the zip tie method of securing bundles and opted for the lacing cord. After doing a couple bundles, there's two things I learned; 1) this is really time consuming and tedious, and 2) it does look a lot neater. The lacing cord, when done correctly, allows for a a very neat bundle.
	3 Mar 07	The panel has been in work, a lot and I'm getting down to the the end. It really didn't feel like I got anything done today, but there was some progress. I had a bunch of small stuff to do in the fuselage like riveting the static ports and a couple other rivets that needed setting. Also needed was securing of some of the wiring bundles. Most of these are done so it was time to get them secured. After 30 minutes of working to fit the forward elevator torque tube, I got that temp installed, then secured some of the bundles to the rib sides.
		Securing the bundles is on the important side when the wires are running down the center tunnel.
	13 Feb 07	I need an updated pic, but the mid-fuse area is working. With all the wiring between the trim relays, the resistors, the servos, and everything else, I wasn't sure all this was going to work correctly. Well, with the servo position feed (green wire) connected to the GRT DUs, I ran the roll servo back and forth by grounding the left and right positions. I still need to wire the switch, but this worked. It's very cool to see the trim indicators on the DU working.
	4 Feb 07	Here's the mid-fuselage electrical tray pretty much done. All I need to do is add the trim, autopilot disconnect and pilot MIC LO/ PTT wires from the stick.
		I talked to GRT about the RAC trim servo sensors. They said that the servos should be fed by the 4.8V regulated output from the EIS. The solution was a small terminal block with the 4.8V feed, an inline 1K resistor then the feed to the pitch and roll servos. If this came right off the buss, GRT indicated that the power was going to be a little too dirty to get a good signal for the internal position sensors on the Display Units. I also ran the connectors for the roll and pitch servo position signal as well.
		I did manage to get the strobe, nav light and trim cables run to the aft fuselage. I didn't want to run these along the floor, so nutplates were installed for this a long time ago. The biggest issue was making the transition over the rudder cable.
		And this is how I made the jump over the rudder cable (although it's not installed yet). I need some smaller adel clamps but this arrangement will work great.
	2 Feb 07	Still moving along on the mid-fuselage electrical tray. So far, so good, but lots of small wires and leaning over. About this time, being able to roll the fuselage is a good idea.
