Antennae cable protective sleeving and installation
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.
