Electrical Started
Work has been started on installing the components of the electrical system. The area behind the passenger headrest is incredibly tight with components. I wanted to install as much as possible in this area to make the electrical parts easily accessible and to remove them from heat of the engine compartment. When I get to actually wiring the plane, firewall penetration bushing will be machined out of fiberglass rod to protect the wires allow the installation of fire stop around the wires.
The forward fuse panel will be inststalled under the thigh rest. These fuses should never blow (clock power) so access would be rarely required.
