Wheel balance / wiring

Started the today's build session by balancing the nose wheel. I had purchased a balancer, but it will only work for the nose wheel and not the main wheels since the main wheels have a larger axle. There is probably way to make it work, but the nose wheel I think is more critical to have balanced. I know many people do not even do this step.  I did have to add 1.25 oz of weight near the stem to get the wheel balanced. Once balanced I installed it back on the nose gear.

I then went back to the wiring. I ran the wires and tubes from the tailcone section per planes. I put together the fuselage wiring harnesses in the panel and also in the tailcone section.

Time: 2.75 hrs.
