Wiring Update

Work continues on the wiring. Today Chris got the GMA245 Audio Panel and GTR200 radio connections completed. We're at a point where the wings need to be reinstalled to continue the wiring. So, I need to get them covered.

Although it looks like a hot mess right now it's actually pretty organized. Of course, all the tidying up will come after everything is hooked up and tested. Then it will get all laced up nice, tight, and pretty.

I have to disassemble my bracket on the side of the radio stack and make a couple of notches in it because it is interfering with the radio bracket you see in the middle of the pic. Once that modification is complete the brackets can be installed and then the GMA 245 audio panel and the GTR200 radio can be installed. The GMC 507 auto pilot plug was previously completed. That leaves the GNX 375 navigator/transponder plug, the two G3X displays, the engine firewall forward, and the VPX Electronic circuits to complete.About 2/3 complete.

All the switches are wired, the hot bus is complete and functioning (this runs the interior lights, two sets of cargo lights, rear fuselage inspection lights, the 12v plug, the four USB plugs, the two dimmers; switch lights and under wing flood lights. The stick grip switches are wired as well.
