As shared by SteinAir, this is Ken’s nicely setup RV-14 with dual screen Garmin G3X 10″ EFISes, G5 backup EFIS/ADAHRS, GTN-750 Navigator, GMC autopilot, remote 2nd radio, remote audio panel with bluetooth, remote transponder with ADSB Weather+Traffic, and more!
P-mag ground wire now terminated and connected to an engine case bolt.
Right-side ignition lines and EGT wires neatened. Oil cooler SCAT duct installed along with manifold pressure hoses. Final connection to P-mag to be made after that last backup alternator nut is finally tightened once the special Snap-on tools arrive next week.
Transponder installation underway. I fabricated the tray for the remote unit and will screw it to the underside of the panel and sub-panel flanges.
Lots of wires to get oriented and squared away, but nearly all of the connections (not including the stick-grips) have been made at this point. All of the wires that pass through the firewall have been so passed. I’m about ready to do the firesleeving of both firewall penetrations.
I moved my padded “nest” from the left side to the right in preparation for installing the remote Comm 2 box and the IBBS, as well as zip-tying all of the dangling wires on that side.
The remote Comm 2 can be seen here in the rack I fabbed for it. The IBBS will be mounted above it on a couple of span-wise plates.
Backup alternator to fuse wire version 2. Much better.
Starter solenoid and master relay wires in place. These were pretty tough to do, as my big hands aren’t overly compatible with this nearly inaccessible location on the firewall. Not much space between all of the engine mount tubes and lots of wires & fuel/oil lines in the way.
