The Wiring Harness

It is now February 23, and the work oh-so-slowly continues. The incredibly complex wiring harness is expected to be finished this week and fully tested.


This photo shows the wiring harness in process. The connections and lacing are made on a mock-up of the actual panel, and then the entire harness is moved to the airplane.
This photo shows the mock-up from the front. The two Aspen PFD units are shown with the protective blue film. Once this is completed, all the avionics will be removed and transferred along with the complete wiring harness to the actual panel, which is presently mounted in the airplane.


Here is a photo of the new instrument panel installed in the airplane. By the end of this week, the new harness should be installed and the addition of the avionics will begin.
