Covered RG400 antennae cables in PET protective sleeving and routed in the rear fuselage. Cable tied to the longerons and ribs, other than for tightening the VOR cable since I want to reconsider the position of the BNC pass-through connector for the tail.

Painted various parts which may be exposed in the interior e.g. under the dashboard with black Rustoleum semi-gloss protective enamel. I have some black MIPA SE 2K paint, but decided to use the Rustoleum for the smaller pieces which are not going to be touched once installed - aesthetics only and the finish nicely matches the rudder pedal powder coating. I'll save the 2K for the exterior, and perhaps the seat bases and frames.
