Brief Description:  Engine grounding cable, throttle

Decided to use a 4 AWG grounding cable that I purchased at Autozone. It is more flexible than the 4 AWG in the kit so we shall see. Added an Adel clamp to help guiide it to the fuselage ground. Installed the two shunt wires that go to pins 24 and 25 on the EMS wire bundle. Used 26 AWG wire as a 'fuse' instead of a 1 amp fuse. Next, drilled the hole in the firewall for the throttle cable and firewall eyeball clamp. From the throttle to the firewall created a bunch of slack to account for the hinged instrument panel. Ran the 1/4" flexible cable to the throttle plate on the engine. This is just a rough fitting but it seems to be pretty good. Won't tie the cable down until we install the other throttle.The cable makes an S turn to the throttle plate as UL recommends. Movement is smooth but we'll check again when we add the other throttle. Tested lowering the instrument panel and it works fine.
