Installed heater control cables

I ran out of heat shrink labels. So wiring came to a halt. I decided to install the cabin heat control cables yesterday. I figured it would be easier while the fuselage is still on its side.

 

I ran the pitot, AOA, and static lines through holes I drilled in the sub panel.

This evening, I reinstalled the radio racks and instrument panel in preparation for wiring the GDU’s, G5, and panel switches.
