Brief Description: Run Fuselage Wires
|
|
I have been derelict in photos and log for sporadic work the last 5 months. Much was spent wiring up the fuselage. The VPX connectors are fully wired, minus 4 HAT switch trim wires. I ran out of switch connections so for Defrost fan, I used the power pin to run wire to the panel, thence out the switch to the future defrost fan motor. The fan motor ground will run from the fan to the firewall forest of ground tabs (per VPX optional instructions for such situations). The wooden false spar needed to be opened at the middle to allow running wires through the F604 bulkhead and also be able to remove the wooden spar without disturbing the wiring. Not a fun job getting that opening done in those tight conditions. All is ok for future disassembly now. Panel switches, except Defrost, are all ground wires to the VPX for electrically switching on/off the various functions. I used MS22759/16-22 AWG for all the switches at the bottom of the instrument panel. At the top left, I have one time decision switches for any given flight. Included is one switch to ground the Co-Pilot grip. Turning that switch on will ground the common grounds of that stick when I want the Co-Pilot stick functional. Because that ground scenario would use MS22759/16-20AWG, I made all the switches in the upper left area common with 20AWG instead of 22AWG like the others. Elsewhere, research showed I could use a progressive switch( OFF- ON1- ON1+ON2) to use one switch hole to first turn on Nav lights, then Nav lights and Strobe lights, I wired it up that way. Did the same thing for OFF - Taxi Light - Taxi Light and Landing Light. That left me with a currently unused switch hole to the right of those. I'm thinking Cabin lights, possibly on a dimmer like the Panel light switch next to that opening. I also removed surplus wires from the Skyview harnesses and EMS harness. VPX does the same functions for some wires, plus more.
