Avionics

GAP 26 wiring ( 1 hr )

Tightened and torqued gnd bolt.  Bundled wires along with alum tubing.  Sent email with pics to G3Xexpert@garmin.com asking if OK to attach wires & cable ties to alum tubes due to heat conducted from Pitot.   Probably need to re-do with wires & cable ties not touching alum tubes. [Update Dec 17: Garmin's Mike Huff, field service engr (contact G3xpert@garmin.com ) says no problem with wiring and cable ties attached to alum tubing.]  Also replaced orig USB charging port on IP (2.6 amp) with upgraded/new one provided by Stein Air w/ 4.8 amp capacity.   This will maintain iPad when Foreflight/GPS running, yet is below 5 amp CB.  Stein Air provided free - since all recent panels are equipped w/ the higher version.
