Brief Description: Nav/Strobe power wires to switch
|
|
I finished the Nav/Strobe power wires from the C/Bs to the switches. I measured, cut, labeled, and terminated them. I also organized the wires, ran the GMU-11 magnetometer, and roll servo wires out the right side of the fuselage to store them in a coil at the wing root. I then decided that the co-pilot stick wires were for future use since I wasn't going to have the same functionality for the GIB as the pilot, and they needed to be capped for storage in case of future use. For capping, I separated the pins at the end of the wires with a long piece of shrink tube. I did not shrink it, as that would have been a hassle if I had decided to use them. So I zip-tied the shrink wrap as insulation so that the wires/pins would not short against each other. (Spoiler alert, those are not really for future use...)
I also got a text from my buddy Bob, who will spend a few upcoming days in the Dallas area. So, I checked the schedule and moved some meetings and one appointment on Friday, so I am taking a vacation day and looking forward to a long shop weekend. This is perfect timing as Teresa has already planned to be at the studio on Saturday, so things are lining up nicely.
I also thought about the steps and updated the "to-do" list in preparation for the longer work sessions.
