Lighting wiring

Worked today on some of the lighting wiring in the wings.  I thought it would be easier to run the wires now before starting to skin the wings. I will work on portions of the wiring section while placing the skins on the wings. Wires were cut to length as per plans and attached the connectors on the inboard rib of each wing. All wires were labeled on each end.

Time: 1.5 hrs.

Stall warning / wiring

T and I attached the stall warning to the rib. I did place another nutplate on the rib even though only one was shown on page 15-02. We placed the skin over temporary and adjusted the stall warning arm as needed to allow for proper function. We then installed the wiring as per plans.

A string was ran through the ribs for future wiring of the lights.  We will be doing the lighting kit before we completely installed the skins on the wings, but the string will help with pulling some of the wires.

I need to purchase some Loctite 243 before we can continue with plans, so we spent a little time preparing some of the small parts needed in future sections so they are ready.

Time:  2 hrs.
