Installing tail wiring harnesses and antenna coaxial cables
Installed Midwest Panel Builders tail wiring harness. Covered in PET protective sleeving first and installed edge protection on the ribs all the wiring and antenna coaxial cables will pass through in the rear fuselage. Ran an additional 3 core shielded cable in the same protective sleeving as the Midwest harness - this is for the additional lower tail beacon.
Covered the RG400 coaxial antenna cable with PET protective sleeve and ran lengths through the rear fuselage for the ELT antenna in the tail, top COM / GPS combination antenna (Comant CI-2480-20) and test fitted and cut cable for the tail-mounted VOR antenna and IFR GPS antenna but need more protective sleeving before installation (on order through Amazon).
