At this point I think I have most of the electrical wiring in place:

- (2) Main power lines 2AWG and 8AWG for dual R14 dual batt/dual alt scheme

- (3) solenoid control lines for main power and crossfeed solenoids

- (2) shielded lines for left and right wing strobes

- (1) power line for strobe power supply

- (1) power for tail light

- (1) 7 multi conductor bundle for elevator trim

Yet to go are:

- (1) antenna coax for 1 comm anttenna (the other will go in wing tip or 

upper fuse

- (2) Van's conduit for future revisions

- (1) for activation of projected new generation ELT (??)



Remaining questions are:

- What do I run for AHRS for projected dual Chelton panel

- Battery Bus - I'm thinking 3 lines for things like clock(?), dome 

light and (??)

- Where does the static line run - can't find in plans or in archives 

but I'm sure I've seen it before.  Does it go thru center or along one 

of the sides?



I'm assuming:

- That GPS and transponder anttennas will be forward of seats and/or in 

cabin top

- Nav and Marker antennas will be in tips

- Nothing else can be run down the accessible center channel to avoid 

interference with control system



All comments welcome.

How about:

Pitch trim for autopilot.  TT uses (1) 20AWG power, (1) 20AWG ground, 

(6) 22AWG control. (use Stein's pre-twisted bundle 

<http://www.steinair.com/wire.htm>



Run an RG-400 for a gps or some other antenna that you may want to add 

to the rear of the canopy



Run the static line along with the wire.



Consider pulling some spare twisted pairs.  I added a 3 and a 4 

conductor.  Who knows what I will use them for.



Consider 1 larger wire for the battery feed to a fuse block forward.



Will there be rudder trim in the future? (there's another 7 wires)



For the Chelton MSU (I will mount the GHARDS up front) you need (1) 3 

conductor 22AWG shielded, (2) 22AWG power, (4) 22AWG ground



Strobe ground or ground local.

Thanks Larry... Perfect!  That helps a lot.
