Brief Description: PIC stick wires gathered and labeled
|
|
Today, I got the pilot stick wiring gathered from under the left console and ran it under the rudder cable and generally up into the area ahead of the spar, where it will be routed to the CPC attach point under the seat ramp. I want to make a service loop with the entire bundle, so I confirm that the wires are long enough. Except for one ground wire that was a little short, they are, so I re-ran a new, longer wire and labeled it. I counted and marked off each wire, confirming I had all the needed wires to match the same wire on the PIC stick. This is when I don't want too many or not enough wires! I do have one extra wire, as AFS provided a pilot discrete / flip-flop wire that I will not use, but will save for later if I decide to utilize it.
Throughout the project, there are specific cliff-jumping steps where you have to get it right, like making the "big cut" on the canopy. These are steps that, if not done correctly, will mean a significant time investment to re-do the steps with new materials, and these "re-dos" can also be accompanied by a steep monetary penalty. So I want to get it right! Since I am close to another cliff-jumping step, I want to ensure that the wires that I ordered with plenty of length do not become too short by mistake. I gathered, ran, counted, and labeled all wires in preparation for the next steps.
