Finished installing wire harness for G3X: 6 hours

Avionics wiring in place and organized. I'm now ready to test the G3X backup power system.


  • Finished and attached GEA 24 engine data interface power / CAN bus connector
  • Finished and attached both connectors for GMA 245R audio panel - these took a while - many small pins to insert and a bunch of shield grounds to attach to the connectors - all done in the cockpit
  • Used solder splices and sleeves in the cockpit to complete CAN bus connections for both ADAHRS - worked great
  • Finished and attached both power / CAN bus connectors  for the ADAHRS
  • Attached all power, back up power and ground wires for both G3X displays, the ADAHRS and the GEA 24 engine data interface. Also power wires for the remote audio panel.
  • Spent a fair amount of time organizing and cleaning up wiring

All avionics wiring in place:

CAN bus node using solder splices - very easy:

GMA 245R audio panel connectors (before being organized):

GEA 24 engine data box just has power and CAN bus hooked up for now:

All VPX power connectors are now full:
