- My brother Paul was in town for a visit and he helped me run some wires and start organizing the instrument panel.
- We twisted and ran the wires for the taxi and landing lights, and the pitot heat. We also labeled the wires and crimped connectors on.
- We ended up drilling another wire pass through to keep the pass through for the left stick grip wiring from filling up.
- A good deal of time was spent using small files and the dremel to clean paint out of ALL the openings on the instrument panel.
- We also pop riveted the ELT control to the panel and started installing the backup circuit breakers.
