Wiring Progress

Wiring is in full swing on 553MW. The first step in the process was to install all the terminal blocks throughout the aircraft. Brandon has been working on the wiring for the wings and the landing gear. Below are some pics with brief commentary.



This shot shows the detailed landing gear with the wiring run to the chrome gear leg light. As a side note, the landing gear have been completely overhauled. Each individual piece was painted in metallic grey and the gear were reassembled using Cad hardware throughout.




The main wiring harness for the tail is complete, snake skinned, laced and ready for installation.  This harness controls tail lighting and electric trim for both rudder and elevator.  The CJ in this photo (tail at the top of the pic) is finishing up work and will soon be headed to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.


This is the left main gear looking up and from the center outward.  Terminated ground wires are pictured.


All landing gear micro switches have been refurbished and installed.


Cad plated uplocks installed.


Wingtip strobe/position light wiring ready for wingtips.
