I’m happy to report that the panel powered up with no apparent issues. All good!
At this point, I’ve got good reason to believe that the avionics and and wiring harness are happy and healthy. There’s still a long way to go, but I’ve got something to hang my hat on.
The engine management and engine information systems aren’t connected yet, but the Garmin G3X Touch avionics are up and running, along with the Vertical Power, VP-X Pro electronic circuit breaker system. Of course this was done during setup and testing at Midwest Panel Builders, but it’s very nice to see it happening – here and now.
I’ve confidence-checked about as much of the harness as I can at this point. I’ll be able to do more when my Rotax 912iS Sport engine is mounted and its Engine Management System (EMS) connected. Stay tuned for that.
