Now that the wires are installed in the rear fuse I have to fasten them somehow, and the only solution to do this is to crawl into the back of the fuse. After some efforts, the strobe wire is secured against the stringer (on the left of the picture). The other wires route via the bottom of the fuse and through the frames. They will be secured via tywraps installed in some square support that I have prosealed in place. One is visible just aft of the bend in the orange wire holder and there are to more on the right side of the picture. This is how the strobe wire is routed along the stringer. As I had some more proseal, I glued on the terminal strip for the nav lights. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 62h) |

Before working on the wiring, the workshop needs some cleaning and tidying up. I then work on the wires going through the rear fuselage. The magnetometer and trim wires are already installed. I have to wire the rear strobe and rear navigation light. The wires have to go through the rear fuselage bulkheads. These is how the wire exits the rear of the fuselage. The wire will then enter the lower rudder tip through a slot I still have to drill. This is a view inside the rear of the fuselage, the rear being to the right. Ths wire goes through the bulkheads to the front. The nav light will be locally grounded to one of the vertical stab mounting bolts. And a view from the cockpit side. All the wires have now to be tied down. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 59h) |

Before wiring the elevator trim, I finished soldering the wires on the warning lights. It will be impossible to solder them once the lights are installed so I took out the wires already installed and cut the alternator light wire. It will be spliced just before entering the firewall pass-through. I then fabricated the connexion for the elevator trim wires. I want to be able to remove the elevator without removing all the trim wiring. I tried a few connectors and then choose to use a d-sub. The rear part (on the right) is modified so as to go through the different holes without having to remove the pin. The shells will be pro-sealed to the aft deck. I then put all the wires (magnetometers and trim) in some protective net type conduit, it will also allow easier installation. Working time on this subpart Today : 3h (Total : 56h) |
