Brief Description:  Replaced Servo and Trim Wire pins

Received the Molex Micro-Fit pins and housings that I ordered from Allied Electronics. They are a good source for electrical supplies. As noted in a previous entry I broke one of the trim wire as it connects to a pin. Upon re-reading this section I discovered that I had placed the pins and sockets in the wrong Molex housing/plugs. I cut all the wires where they connect to the plugs and installed new pins and sockets (pins to the Servo and sockets to the WH-P30 Trim) to the wires. Inserted the pins and sockets into new Molex plugs and connected the plugs. Secured the Trim Wires with zip ties per the plans.

Section 42C-10: Installed the Transponder antenna and connected the cable to it. Thought about installing the COM antenna but I still need to do a lot of work under the Fuselage and it will make things difficult to do since it is long and it extends downward for some distance. So, will defer this step for now. When working on the bottom skin many Sections before, I installed the optional nutplates for attaching the antenna but the installation instructions in 42C do not include directions for installing the antenna with nutplates. I'll need study this some more.
