Avionics

LH Joystick harness  ( 3 hrs )

Enlarged notches on 3 locations for routing LH Harness to Pilot's joystick  -- required due to connector that won't pass otherwise.  Managed with great effort to manipulate connector through, then add 3 snap bushings.  Finally, secured ground wire -- itself challenging due to tight access.   Whew !  glad that's done...    Note: continuing to work with Abby at Flightline Interiors to determine materials & colors for seats, joystick boots, armrests, and sidewall covering.   Most recent sketches included...Jones6 and Jones7.  Only difference is Jones6 has vinyl armrest matching seat, other has armrest that matches upper sidewall color and material (Alcantara #2957).

are very difficult to reach and manipulate connector through
