Stick Grip Wiring - Part 1 |
|
|
I labeled and terminated all of the front and rear stick grip wires behind the instrument panel. 6 wires went to the VP-200 to run the Flaps and Aileron & Elevator trim. The rest went to various places behind the panel. The Ground and +12 volts for the rear grip are switched through a toggle switch on the right hand console. This allows the pilot to completely disable the rear grip to avoid accidental operation of any of the buttons, for example when a non-pilot passenger is along. Buttons on each stick include the following functions, all of which have been tested and are working: * Engine Starter * Flaps Up/Dn * Elevator Trim Up/Dn * Aileron Trim Rt/Lt * Radio Push to Talk * Autopilot Engage/Disengage * VP-200/EFIS1/2/3 Acknowledge * EFIS1/2/3 Page Flip All in all it came out very nice and I'm quite pleased with the installation and operation. |
