After going over to Rich's for a little while to work on my RC Cessna 195 project, I came home to get a short session in on the RV. I went ahead and installed the remaining switches for the LSI, mag, and recog lights, and then ran the OAT sensor wire thru the F704 bulkhead and then out the left side of the fuselage. I'm going to mount it in one of the inspection panels in the left wing.
Then I ran the pilot side push to talk switch wire...what? Only one wire in the stick?? Am I crazy? Well, there will be one more wire, which will be ground, but yep, that's it! Since I have manual everything, there's no need to wire a bunch of stuff up thru the stick. ;o)
Next I did something I've been putting off for the longest time...the magnetometer for the compass. I debated on where to put this forever, and I decided to throw it in the back since the tail will be a bit light...not that this will add much of anything. Nothing really to interfere with it in this spot either...running that wire to the front was a pain in the ass though.
Back up front with the wire brought to the panel, here's the next set of wires I'll be putting back together. The wire came with the connector already done, but I had to cut it off in order to run the wire thru the conduit and snap bushings. Also, the switches are seen installed in this pic...
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever look at the instructions again...it has been SO long since I've looked at plans or read the instruction manual.
