Brief Description:  Avionics & Internal Wiring Complete - Part 01

Well, it seemed like it took forever, but I'm happy to report that all of the avionics and internal wiring is finally complete on 'ol Ruby Vixen 2.0! Best of all, all of the various data interconnects seemed to be working as advertised including the new ADSB transceiver providing full traffic and weather to the GRT HX EFIS displays. The only wiring left is Firewall Forward and that can't be completed until the engine is mounted which is a ways down the road still.

The wiring behind the instrument panel may look a little "out of control" but there's a method to that madness. The intent here is to provide enough service loop on all the various cables to allow the instrument to be removed and the connector removed without straining the cable. I will be adding some spiral wrap to most of the wiring bundles to clean up the wiring sand add some armoring effect to them as well.

I am very happy to have all of this wiring complete. Kind of a major milestone on the rebuild, that's for sure. It was certainly the most time consuming of the rebuild tasks. The remaining assembles to be rebuilt or redone should go quite a bit faster. It says so right here in the manual...
