Brief Description:	Wiring and Panel Progress
Over Christmas bread I've need able to get a bit more done. The wiring is still a mess, but I've triel to make sure that there are no tangles, so when I "clean up" the wiring, it shouldn't be to hard a job. I mounted the radio, and also got the red warning light wired up. Being really carefull while planning and wiring, I didn't expect any problems when powering up the radio. Unfortunately when I switched on the avionics power, the radio was dead. This was aggravating, because I had already sent the radio back once for a mounting mechanical issue. But after some quick troubleshooting I found that there was nothing wrong with my wiring - except I didn't install a fuse. Once the fuse was installed, the radio came to life. I haven't don't any more with the radio because I don't have an antenna connected yet, and trying to transmit could possibly damage it. The ELT remote panel is also installed now. It still need a network type cable connected to it, but that's no problem to do later.
