More wiring....
I pulled all of the wires out of the connector for the CDI so I could reroute them through a hole in the sub-panel and then reconnected them all.
I installed the two accessory power outlets. I mounted one on the passenger side sub-panel. It won't be accessible in flight. I struggled to find a place to mount the second one but landed on the perfect place! I mounted it on the fuel selector valve cover. It will be down low, hidden but easily accessible.
I also debated on where to mount the OAT. The best place would be out in the wing somewhere sticking out in the breeze. In the end, I decided to put it right next to the flap pushrod exit hole. I figure there will be lots air coming in through that hole. The only downside is that is is likely to pick up exhaust, causing a higher reading.. may have to rethink the location now that I just typed that.
I fussed with the engine monitor a bit. They default Aux 1 to be Manifold Pressure but I had that in Aux 2. Probably would have been easier to just switch the pins but I reprogrammed it instead. Also set the scale for the fuel pressure sensor.
I tested the dongle that FDS sent me for dimming the transonder.. it didn't work.. I got no lights at all out of it. I'll just leave it be and let transponder be full bright all the time.
Caused myself lots of damage today... burned my finger on soldering iron, kicked the nosewheel with my little toe and whacked the inside of my right ankle on the canopy strut bracket climbing out of the fuselage to answer the phone... it was Bill.
My list of electrical things to finish inside the fueslage is down to half a dozen or less.
