Big day ! With excellent help from Rex (brother-in-law) and wife, Nancy we lifted IP into cockpit. Nancy had great idea to gather the wire harnesses and various attached components into blanket to lift along with IP all at once from floor up into cockpit ! Yay!) Managed to loop all harnesses and components into space ahead of pilot's side so IP could be moved into position to start attaching with flathead screws. Perfect fit! Started routing harnesses and sub-components to LH, center, and RH sides. Attached GAD27 to subpanel. Good progress...but a lot yet to do.
