Almost done with Panel

So, I've got only 4 more things to wire on the panel... Audio Panel (millions of wires it seems), the CO detector, just a couple of wires, the EL light inverter - again only 4 wires, and finally the antenna switch, which is only a couple of wires and a couple form the Audio Panel. I've got most things prettied up and tied down and I'll save putting on the big Cannon plugs for last. But the Panel is almost complete.

I had to resend my VP switch panel back for yet one other software mod, but it should head back early next week.

Once the panel is complete, I'm going to work on the Avionics Shelf. While in the end it will not be removable, I'm going to try to wire it as a removable component, and get all the objects that will go on it placed on it and the wiring runs identified.

I've already got the Control Units mounted and wired it, and I've got a couple of wires that I've got to add and move around.

The last major wiring effort will be the couple handfuls of items that are scattered around the airframe.... Flap motors, AP servos, lights, etc.

Firewall forward wiring was purchased from Lancair so it should drop in (fingers crossed), with a couple of little modifications... One for the Starter sense circuit that VP has created. It basically can tell you if you have a shorted contactor *before* you have a condition where the starter switch is always on - not good!

Pictures of the panel will wait until its complete, as I mentioned, its just a bunch of wires going every which way, not too much to write home about.
