S-20 / S-21 Panel Fabrication, Avionics and Electrical Wiring

Now that I have the panel designed, it’s time to cut the holes, mount the equipment and run all the wires to complete the avionics and electrical system installation. I’ll explain my methodology to fabricate a capable and serviceable electrical harness, custom built for the RANS S-20/21. I also offer many tips I’ve learned from years as an avionics technician. And lastly, packing it all up for my move to Texas. Enjoy…

I think this is the most informative video I have seen on KZbin in many years. There's so much to learn here, I have bookmarked it for future reference.

Excellent! Here’s a man who knows what he’s doing!

This video should be seen by anybody doing their own electrical as you are. I looked at a used kit plane last week and the wiring was a so bad, there was no confidence to be had in looking any further into that aircraft for purchase. You have lots of great suggestions and pictures too. Your experience with this subject is quite obvious and appreciated. Your presentation and delivery is even better. Its almost like you have done this for a living before. (HA HA, I saw your 1st video of the series)

New here. I am impressed. Such concise clarity paired with superb video and audio I have not seen in a builders blog before. A shining example how both process and resulting product benefit from a Plan. Congratulations !

Great video- your organization and attention to detail set the bar for the wiring process. Thanks for sharing

Wow, great video, and makes points I didn’t even think of before. I’m working on my Vans rv-14 panel now

Amazing work. This video was helpful and very well done. Looking forward to seeing your future progress..\

[@Boscovius]

Straight up solid quality work. I shall endeavor to emulate your high standards.

Another great video on wiring the avionics. Appreciated for offering many tips from an avionic professional. for an untrained person, those wires still look very intimidating. Best of luck unpack and settle in so you can get back to your build. can't wait to see the next video.

Nicely done! I love the backbone concept and the hints about crossing coax.

I live south of Dallas. I want to get into the UAV/ Drone business on how to fix them..I was told to get more involved in the avionics electrician. I don't have experience in aviation. My background is computer to building engineer. Is there any internship or help out on the weekend to get more experience to add to my resume. I'm 37 I don't see myself going to school anymore.
