Fuselage November 2007 Updates November 14, 2007 Panel Frame and Wiring.... - 2.0 hrs Tonight I started installing the panel frame again. This time should be for good so I installed the screws that hold the frame to the fuselage side on the pilot side. This took awhile since there is not much room to get the bolt and washer over the screws. I am using hex head screws to match the rest of the panel screws as well. Once I got the frame in position I had to snake the harness wires thru the holes in the subpanel. Now all harnesses are hooked up to the FastStack ProG hub except for the autopilot harness. I installed the transponder and comm radio. Turns out I installed the harness bracket for the audio panel upside down so I need to redo that again. Should be able to finish the right side bracket and get the audiopanel connection corrected tomorrow.
