4 hours.
Finally got back into it today. First thing I did was dismount the EFIS in preparation for making a hole for the ELT remote switch. Then I reinstalled the radio trays back in their spot so I’d have a stiffer panel to work with during the process of making the hole. I still need to figure out where the ELT wire’s going to make its way to the panel. Oh, and I realized I need another roll of 3-conductor shielded wire, because I also have to get GPS data back to the ELT as well. I guess it transmits the last known position while it’s screaming for help.
I need to start finishing things in the back of the baggage compartment, because not only am I tired of crawling around back there, I need to not have that to worry about while I’m finishing up the wiring.
I also have some 4-40 screws on order from ACS, because the ELT kit doesn’t actually provide any. I also have a BNC-terminated antenna on the way.
