Routed tubing using 4" tie wraps - loose to later attach fittings to Ports, etc. Moved on to Sect 10-23: Installed UAT Antenna Cable. Sect 10-24: Installed ELT Antenna Cable, Finished details in Sect 10-25 (prior routing done prior Skins added LH side) for Aft Fuselage Harness. And finished details in Sect 10-26 for "Phone" Cable.
I will be calling Van's tech support to determine why wires C1036 and C1037 are each about 6 inches short of bulkhead F01406B. Can't see how I've misrouted, etc. Everything else fits A-OK and is neatly tie wrapped at designated locations, protecting from rubbing on edges, etc.
