2. Feeding the aerial cable through
In order to feed the aerial cable through, the following parts need to be removed:
- front instrument panel cover
- front control column boot
- access cover at the left hand side of the front control stick
- instrument panel bottom part in rear cockpit needs to be removed completely,
not just folded open, this means that the hinges at the bottom must be
disconnected from the fuselage
- baggage compartment covers (bottom and rear part)
The aerial cable is delivered over length without terminals.
To make feeding though easier, it is recommended to wrap the cable ends with
insulating tape in order to "round" the ends.
The cable is fed through from the opening in the rear cockpit floor to both the
front and the engine bay.
First feed through to the front. Push the aerial cable parallel to the empty cable
pipes, on the right hand side of the fuselage until it comes out near the front
control stick.
