You might as well change your mailing address to the garage. You won't be coming out of there in the next while. Looks like a good and fast start to a sim.
Now start flying! Building and flying is the most important part of this hobby.
Yep, I'm a bit more motivated now. You EICAS is going in tonight and I'll finish the MIP wiring I stopped this week.
Next up is the overheads. Need to get the annunciators to start the wiring, then the panels and as soon as I get a count of the switches and knobs I still need I'll order those.

Congratulations on your new arrival. Your flightdeck is coming together nicely. Keep the photos coming...

Getting better every day....

Picked up some Molex connectors and L size DC power to hardwire in the SYS cards and the throttle lighting.....More projects!

PLEASE!!!! For the love of flight simulation, never EVER use Molex connectors if you don't want a heap of problems along the way. I cannot recall the number of intermittent problems I have experienced over the years with Molex connectors.
Being a slow learner, I figured I would try again to use them in my sim and they lived up to my expectations by causing me untold grief until I replaced them all.
So do yourself a big favor and stay away from them. In my old field service life, I cursed profusely every time I worked on a tape drive that was using Molex connectors. If I touched anything, a return visit was guaranteed because Molex connectors do not like to be touched and the problems were always intermittent, even in my sim.
You've been warned :)
