adding this big chunk of hours to roughly approximate the build time that I have not logged. Rather than recap the work to date, I will make new entries on the avionics work at final install. Those entries will provide a brief background of the build in that specific area so that while the dates will not reflect the actual work date, at least a discussion of each component will be on record.
There are countless hours spent researching, studying plans, and just staring at parts figuring the next move.
