Firewall Forward Organization, Wiring Organization, Pitot Mount Drilling
(3.0 Hours Electrical, 2.0 Hours Firewall Forward, 0.5 Hours Wings)
5.5 Hours Total

I installed a bunch of adel clamps to support wires and hoses that needed support. I think everything is done firewall forward except for adding fire sealant.

I took a long time organizing the wires from the subpanel area down through the center tunnel to the center spar area on the left side. These are all cleaned up now and have conduit zip tied around them.

I started organizing the right side wires, but I need to run the wires for the ELT remote control (which aren't here yet) before I can finish it.

I decided to throw away the control system that comes with the heated seats and just wire them in parallel (set at the "high" setting). I drilled holes, routed the 18g wire into the seat, and spliced the connectors onto the end. I then tested them--they got warm!

I need to wait to finish the right side until I've organized the wires on that side.

Then I drilled the holes in the pitot tube mount for the pitot tube.
