I spent my two days of christmas vacation stringing more wires. Here you can see that most of the panel switches now have their power leads connected:
The black object attached to the center subpanel rib is the flasher for the landing lights. I got it all hooked up save for the wires that go out to the wings.
I got the two voltage regulators mostly connected, and ran a bunch of wires to the annunciator controller:
Pretty soon I'm going to need to run a whole bunch more wires back through the center tunnel, so I decided to remove the sticks and associated control system parts to make it easier to get my hands in there. I ended up cutting the two outboard ribs as you see here, so I could lift the whole stick assembly out as one piece – much easier that way. I'll have to fabricate some more F-716B splice plates, but that should be no big deal. I'm not sure why the plans don't have you cut all four of those center section ribs from the very beginning anyway.
