Brief Description:  Secure panel wiring

Worked on tiddying up and securing the wiring behind the panel. Still need a few clamps to support the wire harness in a few places. The bulge in the wire bundle on the center left of image one an in-line 20 amp fuse for the panel 12 volt receptacle. The other day I saw some automatic resetting ATM and ATC fuses at the autoparts store. I might consider one of those in place of the fuse since the likelyhood of blowing a fuse is by plugging in a defective device, which is easily removed. It would be nice if the circuit reset itself instead of crawling under the panel to replace a fuse after landing.

Made a bracket to evaluate the geometry to connect the Tru-Trak roll servo. With the rod in the hole shown in image 2, the stick could be moved to its' limits without binding and the servo travel was approx. +/- 45 degrees, about what is recommended for the servo. To be determined is if the servo has sufficient torque as configured and that the minimum step motion is small enough to prevent over correction when turning/leveling. Moving the rod lower on the bracket should reduce sensitivity, but in the bottom position there is rod interference. Some combination of holes may prove optimal. If this all works out, the pitch/roll system will add about 8 pounds to the aircraft weight. The servos are about 2.5 pounds each.
