Wiring: 8+ hours

The following work was done over several days:

  • Finished drilling wire pass through holes in cockpit floor ribs
  • Did a fair amount of research and planning for wiring the G3X and VPX
  • Ran wires for Aeroled nav / strobe lights back from VPX to cockpit floor terminal block. I also crimped on ring terminals and used my solder sleeves for the first time to connect the wire shield to the terminal block.
  • Ran RG-400 for left wingtip nav antenna connection, also crimped on fitting
  • Ran flap position sensor wire, connected to sensor and secured sensor and motor wires


The central tunnel is starting to get crowded:

Flap motor power wiring ready for VPX connector (I like the heat shrink label printer but I almost prefer the labels on the wire but not shrunk - you can see each example here):

Wiring connected and secured for flap motor and position sensor:

Nav radio antenna connector (on the right):

Terminal block for Aeroled nav / strobe lights (the wing nav / strobe lights will also connect here):

The Garmin G3X Touch wiring diagram looks fairly simple:
