Spent about two hours getting some little stuff done.
This 12V plug is for the GPS. My AV8OR Ace GPS comes with a cigarette lighter adapter for power. I could cut the plug off and hard wire it into the plane, but the GPS has an automotive function too. I know I will never take the GPS out of the plane to use in the car, but I still didn't want to cut the plug. So with this receptacle I can plug the GPS into power.
Installed the two USB charging ports. This will be nice if I use any iPhone apps for airport diagrams or something.
Bought some connectors and connected the E.I.S. caution light.
Bundled these wires together. This actually took a long time to complete!
I did this part yesterday but just downloaded the pics. I wanted to get that trim cable that was hanging out of the fuselage routed through the horiz tail.
The trim cable comes out of the fuselage and goes immediately into the side of the horiz stab. Then the cable comes out the back and will go through the elevator and out the bottom to the trim tab.
I hung some plastic in the garage for a small temp paint booth and used epoxy primer on the panel. I will let it dry for a couple of days and then spray the white.

Can't wait to get the new panel painted, labeled, and installed!!
