A very short update, of me working on the other airplane I am part owner in. An Emeraude with a Lycoming Engine. I begin wiring the engine and soon will mount the panel. #Flying #Experimental #Airplane #Aircraft #Aviation
Nicely done! Note to anyone making their own wiring harness: you might think that you want all the wires the same colour so it looks nice...no, you don't. Each of these is colour- coded for easy tracing and easier trouble shooting!
I'm building an emeraude with an O-320. I'm currently doing the wiring and I've been trying to decide where to mount everything. I've resisted poking holes in my firewall until I was absolutely positive that's where I wanted things.
You can buy sealant that is used in construction we call "fire stop". It's a very high heat sealant that resists burning. I would recommend you seal all the holes when you are done with it. If you ever do have a fire in the engine bay, it will help give you the time you need to land.
The expandable sleeving is sold at all electronics retailers and wholesalers. Very common item. Just make sure to use heat shrink tubing to finish the ends, as the stuff frays quickly.
