Installing wire harness


All servo plugs crimped and labeled


Danny from AeroPanda told me about waxed lacing cord last week. I had never seen it before. I got a spool and started trying out how to use it. There are several YT videos on how to tie different types of laces and knots. I'm liking it better than zip ties now after trying several applications. Its softer on the insulation and seems to grip very well. Thanks for the tip Danny.


Lacing cord used to secure servo extensions


Lacing cord worked well securing the steering servo wire to the nose gear frame to keep it from getting pinched when gear retracting. The zip tie I had used before was already starting to pinch the insulation. The cord is much softer and does not cut into the insulation.


I had to enlarge the holes for the air valve wires to get to the wire harness sleeve


Air valve wires tucked into the harness sleeve


Nose gear door servo wires tucked into the harness sleeve


Wire harness complete except for throttle wire from ECU
