Wire untangling
Adele’s soccer jamboree yesterday kept me away from the project. However, my order from B&C Specialty Products arrived, a large fuse block, 6 AWG wire, and some switches. They sent out the order on the same day I placed it! Wish I could say the same thing about SteinAir. It took them 4 business days just to ship my order. As soon as that gets here, I can hook up the battery to the fuse blocks and start powering stuff up.
I spent just a little time tonight messing around with electrical stuff. I gathered up all the switches and identified which one was going where. I’ve got one weird switch that I thought was for the flaps. I spent a bunch of time trying to figure it out, but turns out I have a different switch for the flaps. I have no idea what that other one is for.
I also started unrolling the Stark wiring harness and separating out the power and ground leads. So far the harness still looks about perfect.
One other item of note today. I called Advanced Flight Systems to get an update on shipping out the AF-3400 EFIS and EMS. So far I keep getting slipped deadlines. I’d really like to get the engine sensor harness so I can get the FWF finished up. They said 2 more weeks for that. And the units themselves should start shipping to the initial customers in 4-6 weeks. I should be near the top of the list as I placed my order right after Sun ‘n Fun. If I can get them by mid-October, I’ll still be in good shape. Much beyond that is going to start affecting the first flight date.
