Brief Description:  Battery Contactor wire

Spent some time this morning with the continuation of the electrical wiring - today's goal was to make the wire that goes from the positive battery terminal to the battery contactor. I took my time as I want these to be done right and perform maintenance free for many, many years. I also looked at two different ways to run the wire. It's a short run which means there isn't a lot of options. And to quote my buddy Steve, "#2 wire is as flexible as a 2x4" Steve is right!

I also made the ground wire that runs from the negative battery post to the grounding post on the longeron. So today I have the initial power wire and grounding wire made - which starts the power system. I remember taking two pictures of the battery tray in place with the two wires in place, but can't find those pictures to post...as the battery tray has been removed from the fuselage and the battery and the wires were also taken off...so I just went out and took a lame picture of the negative wire for filler
