MooneyMitch Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Are you asking about the white one? Quote
1964-M20E Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 It looks like you are done and ready to fly. Heck you have more than the Wright brotheres ever had. :-)) Quote
PTK Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 No wonder electrons have such a "negative" outlook on life! Look what they "go through!" It's enough to make one "repulsive!" Quote
MooneyMitch Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 With that photo, it's easy to see how we can get our wires crossed sometimes :-) Quote
co2bruce Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Posted August 7, 2012 I'm glad I can bring a smile to the forum every once in a while. We're all so serious. Quote
fantom Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 So Bruce....you decided to go wireless digital ;-) Quote
DaV8or Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 As long as every wire is connected to something, that's good enough. No lose ends. If you want everything to actually work, then that costs extra. Quote
Bennett Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 My installer sent me this photo last year. At least most of your wires are in bundles. Worked out just fine, but what a rat's nest at this point. Quote
OR75 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 I came accross a company called "Approachfaststack" at oshkosh. They make a TSO'ed hub and custom wiring harnesses based on the avionics you have. It looks like very nice way to clean decades of bad workmanship from avionics shops. (they add wires but don't bother removing the old ones). Thats why I am always reluctant to give them more business !!! I would make the jump but I am a bit worried something may end up not working. Anyone used their service ? www.approachfaststack.com Quote
KSMooniac Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 I've heard good things about them, but others point out that anytime you add a splice or a connector into the mix you are introducing another failure point, and that is certainly true to a certain extent. If starting over from scratch, I think it would be a great option. I'm not sure it would be worthwhile to retrofit into an older Mooney unless you want to start with a clean slate, though. Quote
Mcstealth Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 so, uhm, do, uh, so, do you fly by wire? Quote

OR75 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 the harness they had on display looked nice and tidy. just wary about "recycle" if a wire is forgotten or a plug is short, etc ... It is not that easy to built your own harness. There are so many connector type and they don't come cheap. Quote
Immelman Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 That wire goes to the landing light circuit. So you're within your part-43 owner maintenace items there. Good job! Quote
jnisley Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 There seem to be plenty of "loose wires" on this thread, what's one more. Quote
garytex Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 Resistance is futile! I don't know which is more revolting, Vogon poetry or that many damn wires. Gives me the willies. It's enough to make 45 year old brown woodgrain vac-u-form plastic look pretty reasonable. Gary Quote
