March 31, 2007 2.5 hours - Install Strobe Power Supply

I mounted the strobe power supply on the aft fuselage bulkhead as instructed in the kit manual, using Loctite on the nuts behind the bulkhead.

I connected the strobe wire harness to the power supply and determined the routing of the wires.  I drilled holes around the perimeter of the bulkhead opening and secured the wires to the bulkhead with zip ties as instructed in the kit manual.

I routed the wires that lead to the wing root connectors along the side of the fuselage and through the fuel line mounting loops and the cockpit bulkhead opening.  After ensuring the proper slack to reach the strobe connector that will be in the wing root, I taped the wires to the sides of the fuselage as shown in the kit manual.

In the center photo above, the purple line is the right tank fuel feed, the blue wire goes to the right wing tip strobe light, and the black line is the housing for the ballistic chute deployment lanyard.
