1. Took delivery of my newly black powder-coated control sticks. Installed them to get a rough idea of how much length will have to be trimmed from the tubes, as well as the lengths of the wire runs that will be needed from the sticks to the terminal blocks..

2. Installed the two terminal blocks for the stick wiring. (The front cockpit will actually get one more small one, used for the starter-button wiring.)

3. Drilled and installed the Safety Trim box, underneath the rear seat.

4. Drilled and installed a few wire passthrough snap-bushings.

5. Installed a few Adel clamps that will support the trim wiring as it exits the control sticks and makes its way to the SafetyTrim box. The wiring will have to pass underneath both the right aileron pushrod and the elevator pushrod, so I had to plan carefully.
