Thanks Carl. Adding the wiring is one of my least favorite parts of building.

Amen...I hate it too.

That looks great! Wiring always sets an engine off especially a radial

Nice work on the engine, your kind of wiring looks way better than the flat PE-stuff. Are you planning to show that little piece of art?

Cheers Rob
