Title: avionics part..whatever
Haven't really posted individual entries this week because it's pretty much just been the same thing over and over. locate box, install nut plates where possible, mount boxes, pull wires, etc. at this point, I believe all the boxes are in the airplane except the fly led light control board. I also have the prefabricated main avionics bundle routed throughout the airplane and everything seems to fit. Buss bar interconnects are done. I have 3/8" clearance from the buss to the plastic case of the MFD, which is plenty. Also I devised a way to get power to the secondary fuse block. My consideration was that I'm only going to put ships lighting on it, so it really doesn't need to support more than about 20 amps max. in that regard, a 14awg supply wire would have been plenty, but that wire would have been to small for the 60amp circuit protection I have on the whole thing. I debated making a usable link etc. in the power line for that buss, and ultimately decided I was making this way harder than it needed to be and just ran a #8 wire back from my main buss to this fuse block. Now everything is supported by nice fat wires and if they short out, the ANL should blow before anything melts. Next up is wiring all the switches and running wiring from them to various systems plus pulling all the antenna wires Note- I thought that I was being smart by prewiring the tailcone before installing the top skin way back when. It turns out that the G3X system drives the elevator trim off the autopilot servo to allow for variable speed scheduling, so the 5 conductor trim wire I already ran has to come out. I thought I would just leave it installed but unused and pull the avionics stuff through the conduit I already had back there, but it was too big to fit through the conduit with the antenna wire that's already installed, so back into the tail cone I went. At this point it's in there, but just laying on the floor. I won't secure anything until the magnetometer passes it's interference check.
