Wired the ammeter shunt. I made a fusible link by connect about 6" of 24ga wire to the 20ga wire that I ran from the control box. I wrapped the 24ga wire in silicone tape. The idea is that if the wires ever short, the 24ga wire with heat up and sever, acting like a fuse. The silicone is to help contain the heat, and mitigate the risk of the something catching fire.

Magnetometer wired and mounted in the wing.

Created a mounting plate and used some adel clamps to mount the G3X GPS antenna to the engine mount. A lot of guys mount there antennas under the corl with good results. The antennas seem to tolerate the heat pretty well.
