Manual Reference:  Tosten relay/stick
Brief Description:  More wiring on the sticks and relay

1. Label the positions of the term block on flor
2. Made 4 wire extensions 6 inches in length each for the hat switch wires from the front stick and soldered each wire to one each of the 4 stick wires. Covered each joint with shrink tube. I then crimped on a ring connector to the end and shrink tube. Labled each wire so that I know where it goes on the terminal block.
3. There are 2 ground wires for each of the button and ondex buttons as well as a green wire for the hat switch ground. I combined 2 on to a single ring terminal. The green ground wire i ted into the other side of thecoomon term on block and pigtailed a wire to a ground stud.
4.The remaining 4 wires from front stick were also in need of extensions and so they were made with dsub connections this time and covered in shrink tube. I labled each end and then ran accross to the other side to the relay module. All the wires for the relay do not have terminal connectors. Instead, they are stripped and put in the appropriate hole of relay and a screw is tightend to secure the wire.The relay should be ready for hook up once I make the power lead for it.
5. There are two wires from the intercom for Ptt of either the front or back stick and is intended to connect separately to each.However, I tied the two together into a single ring connector and labeled each. I will connect that pair to the term block trigger switch position on one side. The other side of the same block I will connect the pair of wires coming from the rear and front stick trigger switches. If for some reason this is not working, I can always separate them and use the extra term block location for a separate connection.
6 Still have not decided how to secure the wire harness from front stick to the center bulkhead and also avoid hitting the right aileron push tube. I hope to get that done next time.
