Here is the switch & breaker panel all nicely assembled. Don't know if you can tell, but the bottom row of breakers (except for the first one) are all upside down.

View from the other side. Must have down 5 test fit by the last one. Each resulted in finding things to correct. So I've been correcting things for a couple weeks now. More wire labels, adding connectors, checking pinouts, testing switches, finding is

I had some maple veneer from another project which came in handy to cover the sheet aluminum plates. I think it's much more attractive than painted aluminum.

Today I installed the new cover for the console and began work on the brake plumbing. I need to replace the line from the reservoir to the master as it interferes with the trim switch. Replacement parts now on order.

Here's a decent picture of the new panel all lit up. As far as I can tell, everything works now. I still need to set up the GRT Sport SX, MicroAir 760 Radio and MicroAir T2000 Transponder.

And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.

But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

Eventually, the 2nd alternator and supporting H/W will go. Also, I have Parahelion copper-clad aluminum fat wire which will replace the existing fat wire.

Maybe by the end of the week I can have the shell installed and wired into the aircraft so I can plug these into it. We'll see. These 26ºF (-3.3ºC) mornings have been limiting me to only 4 or 5 hours of afternoon work a day.
