Two hours spent connecting most of the wiring for the passenger-side stick. A mix of D-subs, heat shrink, and butt splices were used.
Elevator trim, flaps, and PTT functions have all tested OK. I still need to connect the start and TO/GA buttons. The former will wait until the pilot-side stick has been installed and reached the same point in the wiring process, while the latter is awaiting delivery of a couple diodes from Stein.
As expected, getting under the panel with the stick installed is even less fun than beforehand. Oh, well – that ground wire wasn’t going to run itself!
Passenger-side stick grip wires routed to center console, ID’d, and secured.
Shoulder harness cables installed.
Infinity grip installation underway. Here, the passenger stick has been cut down, the powdercoat stripped off the end, and the spacer fitted.
