Panel prep
All I did was disassemble the panel and prep the extruded (i.e. non-alclad) parts for painting. I’m planning on getting the panel itself powder coated once I have everything fitted.
As a background task, I’ve been doing a bunch of planning for wiring. The snap bushings in the F-704 center section are notorious for filling up. I made a list of every wire that needs to go through the various snap bushings in the fuselage. I also started a list of the electrical equipment with recommended fuse ratings and wire sizes. With those two lists I can determine which snap bushings are too full, and re-route some wires if needed.
