harv Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Trying g my hand at making wire harnesses. What do you think ?.....harv 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Harv. Please dont take this wrong way, this is only my opinion but your box looks out of scale in my opinion and a bit crooked. Also are you leaving enough space for the ceiling piece to be inatalled...air duck looks too tall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thanks Oliver. I appreciate you input. Nothing glued.im on the fence with the box. The air ducting to me looks OK. There is pieces that attract to the bottom going to the sides. Have any suggestions you can give me would be great. I'm following your build and learning from you....harv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Harv Not sure which harness you are talking about: the ones going into and out of the panel (a bit too messy and have a few problems) or the ones running along the top of the fuselage wall, which look fine.

I'm following your build and learning from you....harv The box is a great idea for your interior but maybe cut it in half and make two boxes side by side. I see you have pencil marks on your box, i would bring them closer to each other since in my opinion they are too far apart. Dont abandon the box idea it works. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Harv. The little hole(barely visible) in the fuselage for the placement of the winch is wrong(its too low) . The bracket should go just below the transmission cowling. Use the 2 brackets provided in the kit to measure the right angle ..i made a mistake with mine so i have to improvise on mine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted Sunday at 01:09 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:09 AM Yes, it's been awhile. I'm stopping on the wiring to make a start on cockpit because some of the wiring will end up there. How's this for detail ?....harv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted Sunday at 11:29 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:29 PM I got the one window I needed to installed and masked. Might be a mistake. It pops out awfully easy. I still need more interior work to do....harv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted Monday at 02:16 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:16 AM Harv, You need to make a frame out of styrene or something else that you tape around your windows from outside once all the windows are in to protect them from popping in or out while you handle your helo. Your cockpit is moving forward i see. Dont forget to paint your fuselage color around your windows first before you glue them so you will an even paint job once its time to paint the fuselage. oliver 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
