I won this Flightcom 403 intercom in Ebay a couple weeks ago for $115. It's not going to be mounted in the panel, but will be used hidden behind the panel. I plan to mount it vertically behind the panel in front of me so I can still turn the volume and squelch knobs. The connector came with it, but it's a solder type, and I don't really want to mess with that...too much work compared to regular pins and sockets. So yet another order to Stein will go out tomorrow.
I spent way too much time taking the wires out of the back of the connector thinking I would use it, but in the end decided against it.
The wiring of the intercom appears to be a bit more complicated than I thought it would be, but I'll get through it. Since I don't have a connector to wire up tonight, I started on the switch sub-panel that will contain the smoke switch, and the ELT remote.
I didn't get very far on this tonight...we were going for a late workout tonight, so I just got it marked for the holes before it was time to put it down.
Tomorrow I need to pull the tail spring from the fuselage and run it over to Rob's house for him to shoot it with some AZKO to prevent it from rusting again...
