Brief Description:  Reworked console wiring

My earlier attempt at organizing and terminating the wires at the starboard switch/breaker console had to be reworked. The wiring got bulky and a bit inflexible at the nav and strobe connections. This is due to the heavier three conductor shielded cable. I reworked the terminations to eliminate as much as possible any need to bend any of the wires. I also installed some lead wires to ground the shielding and splice the strobe sync wires.

To avoid scratching the interior paint I covered the console temporarily with black electrical tape. When I am done with the wiring and work in this area the tape will be removed. Hopefully, this will keep the interior panels from getting too beat up.

I also spent additional time today organizing the fuselage wiring. This consists of verifying the proper routing, cutting runs to final length, and terminating with the appropriate connectors.
