Sort of a light day today, Parker had his Thanksgiving dinner/luncg @ school today so the afternoon was spent there. In the am I was able to find the problem from yesterday with the aileron trim servo not being activated by the hatswitches. Turns out it was a bad crimp on one of the pins in the dsub @ the servo connection. These awg 26 wires are touchy, it's exactly the same problem i had on the Elevator trim. After lunch w/ Parker, I began on the wiring for the LED's and switches for the overhead plenum. I was shortsighted here, it would have been smarter to have installed some conduit for the wire when I installed the plenum to the cabin cover, or at least when the cabin cover was off and upside down. I used some 10 awg solid copper wire and 'fished it from the aft bulkhead where I installed 2 snap bushings. After I got the #10 wire forward, I attached some 1/4" polyproplene tubing and pulled it back using the #10. I did this for both the front seat lights and switches, and the rear seat lights and switches. I've got some dual conductor wire left over from probes and sensors that i threaded through each new 'conduit'. I soldered and crimped some wire to the forward LED's and switches. Once the rear are done I'm pretty much ready to install them into the overhead. the Kids are arriving from school tonight so the next couple of days will not show much progress on the project.

1/4" poly tubing 'fished' to act as conduit for lights wiiring.
