Autopilot servo and electric trim wiring: 3.5 hours


  • Ran the wires for the pitch servo forward and connected to the VPX. 
  • Connected power wires to the roll trim servo from the autopilot roll servo. (This allows the servo to run the roll trim when required for auto trim.)
  • Connected the roll trim servo position wires and ran them forward to the vpx. The roll trim servo uses very small gauge wires so I connected everything with high density dsub pins and heat shrink tubing.
  • The wiring for the auto pilot servos and the electric trim servos is pretty much done. The CAN bus network wires still need to be connected to the G3X components. The roll servo wiring is bundled on the outside of the fuselage.
  • Drilled a few more wire pass through holes in the fuselage floor ribs. I don't think any more will be required.
  • General clean up and vacuum of the fuselage
More wiring and some new pass throughs:
