I replaced the wire from the starter contactor to the VP-X so that I can add protection for the wire close to the contactor.<\/p>\n

I also got an order from Aircraft Spruce with a replacement cabin\/baggage light. \u00a0The one I had had both red and white lights, but as I mentioned earlier, I’m using all white and green interior lights, so I ordered this unit. \u00a0I wish this was offered in a natural aluminum anodized finish since this will be the only black anodized aluminum in the cockpit, but it’s not that big of a deal.<\/p>\n
