Finally On The Downhill Side of Avionics and Electrical

I haven't posted lately because I didn't have any dramatic changes to show. I have been hard at work for months getting through all the fuselage electrical stuff, avionics install and engine sensors. For me, it has been the slowest, hardest and most time-consuming part of the build, by far. This is for several reasons. First, Van's gives very little guidance on avionics because every plane is different. You're pretty much on your own to figure things out. Secondly is my own lack of knowledge on the subject. Everything is new and there's much problem solving. You have to figure out where to mount all the avionics components and fabricate trays for them. Always keeping maintainability in mind. In the end, you want it all to work correctly, reliably, be airworthy and safe, and finally, to keep troubleshooting to a minimum. The last several points remain to be seen. But I'm making progress and I'm hoping to wrap up this part of the build soon. It's finally cooling off in TX which makes going out to the hanger more bearable. Attached are various photos of some progress to date. There's a lot more that's been done that isn't shown. Finally, we ordered our interior which will be delivered in a few months. I needed the integral seat heater hardware to install in the plane prior.
