More Panel Progress

Post by ptrotter »

With the exception of my little indicator lights, I have finished wiring my panel. It is designed to be removable, so all connections off the panel are through several connectors. Now all I have to do is finish the harnesses within the airframe. The next step is to build my breaker panel.

I have powered up each instrument individually and they all come on properly so I guess it passed the smoke test (at least so far).

Nice Work

Paul,

Looks really nice.

I guess our airplanes share more attributes than just the N-number similarity:

Which specific GPS do you have, and have you gotten the communications working with the EFIS yet? The SL-30 was easy, but the instructions for the GNC-300XL needed some massaging before everything was working correctly in my installation.
