Engine Wiring

I started running the engine wiring using a variety of different size braided sleeving.

Engine grounds

Solenoid and main harness

Engine harness

Wiring the voltage regulator

I started wiring the voltage regulator today. I had to shorten the shield and install new crimp leads on the two wires coming from the generator.

Lookin like a Gyro now!

My kit is looking more like a Gyroplane everyday. Will really be excited when I can get the cabin and seat back from repair.

Looking like a gyro

I’ve nearly completed the wiring of the instrument panel. Plan to do a 100% pin by pin ring test of all connections. Ordered several yellow #6 hole crimp lugs that I will use to tie the panel ground to a common point. The ground for the engine monitoring display will be tied back to engine ground. Wiring included connecting all of the wires to the panel side and engine side connectors and pulling in the main wiring harness.

Parts go on

I got the landing gear installed, drag links adjusted and disc brakes in place. Had to cut one of the hydraulic brake mounting bolts as it was to long and was barely hitting the brake rotor on one side.
