Removed Subpanel

The subpanel is back out of the plane.  Almost everything on the subpanel has been attached with screws and nuts up until this point, but all of those nuts are being replaced with nutplates so that all of the components installed on the subpanel can be removed from the front with a screwdriver.  Otherwise, I’d be on my back under the panel trying to get a wrench on the nuts.

I’m really glad I chose to run all of the wiring through adel clamps suspended from the bottom of the subpanel and ribs instead of through them.  It’s made it relatively trivial to pull the subpanel out to trim it or install nutplates.

After pulling this out, I installed most of the nutplates before calling it a night.  I should be able to finish that up and have them primed and reinstalled by this weekend.
