Sparkplug Wires - 1 hour (208 Total)

Today I routed the sparkplug wires. This required five different wire clamps to keep the wires from rubbing on any of the metal components.

I needed to replace the lower carb bolts with a longer ones to accommodate the wire clamps.

Electrical Panel - 4 hour (207 Total)

Over the course of several days, I laid out my electrical panel.

I started out by cutting out a piece of cardboard that fit the dimensions between the middle and rear cabanes. After laying out all of my electrical components on the cardboard and determining the best layout, I bolted the components to the cardboard.

I originally thought that I would use two panels, one on the left and one on the right, but it turned out I could use one large panel if I used both sides.

I then installed my cardboard electrical panel into the plane. Once in the plane, I did some adjusting of the components to facilitate wiring.

I intend to completely wire the engine and panel to insure proper fit before replace the cardboard with a piece of sheet metal.
