Began installing wiring harness
25 Mar 2017 6.5 hours

Today I started to install the fuselage wiring harness. It was a bit of a frustrating process. The install would have been much easier has this been done earlier. In all the other kits the wiring harness comes with the kit, and your told the optimal time to install it. In the fuselage kit, the wiring harness is optional (extra $1500). There is no guidance as to when the appropriate time is. The harness comes with many of it’s connectors already installed, which makes running the wires very challenging. I ended up cutting the Micro Molex connectors off the end of the wire runs to the control sticks. It was just to difficult to run the wires with the connector on. I ended up switching it over to connectors I had order previously.
