Title: Tidying up some wiring
There's not too much I can do until I get the right set of screws to add connectors for both the COM radio and XPNDR but I did a few steps. First, I confirmed the location of the AOA port hole in the left wing but will wait to work on it until someone can help me lift it onto the workbench. One of the things I like about the Van's store is you can download all of the plans for my project and the pictures are in color and are a heck of a lot better than the black-and--white pictures in the printed KIS that they send you. For example, Step 3 of 42NiS-16 says "Gather the WH-00134-1 near the inboard aft corner of the ES CPU Fan using the clamp as shown and install the clamp onto the F-01202B-1 using the screw called out in Figure 1." OK, but there's a LOT of wires there coming from all sorts of different directions. Which ones go in the clamp exactly. Couldn't tell from the printed version but the color picture makes it more clear. The ones coming from the engine compartment do not. The ones coming from the GEA 24 do. Cool. I bundled them up as instructed. It bothers me a bit that the wires from the GEA 24 are sitting roughly on the cooling fan but I guess I'll address that later. I also want to add the antenna cable and try to reduce that bend in the DSUB connection to the GPS-20A I also drilled out the left side platenut (per 42NiS-17) and added a #27 hole (still have to do the right side). Single-lug platenuts go here and I don't have any. So I ordered some from Van's and also added a few mounting screws and other hardware called out in the coming steps, figuring I'll lose one or can't find one in the stash sent to me. Plus if Van's says install 19x screws; they give you 19 screws; no more, no less. So there's no room for error. At the same time, I also ordered the Power Unit featured on the website, which will allow me to power up the electrical system without draining the battery. I figure I'm going to have learn all about the G3NX by sitting and playing and this will make that more functional.
