Avionics wiring has begun!
Didn't get started working until late and ended up staying up until 11:30 working on the wiring.....
I've started wiring the KX-155 and KLN-89B to the KI-209A CDI. I managed to get the 11 unshielded wires made up and connected. I wasn't paying attention and made up 11 wires with a female DB pin on one end and the king connector on the other end and then realized the 89b tray has a db connector, not a king style connector on it, so I had to make up some new ones with db pins on each end. I hope I can reuse the wires with the king connectors on them.. those things are pricey!
I bought a $130 crimper for the king connectors but can't figure out how it works yet.. I crimped a couple but the connector doesn't fit into the crimper far enough. So I used my cheap $30 crimper from SteinAir that works great! (Don't bother buying a King crimper... not needed).
Here is what our dining room table looked like this morning.
(Time: 2.5 Hours)
