More wire harnesses in the works today. I finished the right wing terminal harness (includes the lighting and roll servo) and the pitch servo. The pitch servo was my first experience with D-Sub connectors and shells. The pins are easy to deal with since I ponied up the cash for a professional crimper that sets all of the stops and crimp amounts automatically. I found the crimper on Craigslist in Colorado for pennies on the dollar.
I pulled both the left wing wires and pitch servo wires through the left center hole in the spar bulkhead. So far, the only bundle going through the right center bulkhead hole is the right wing wiring (I'll probably pull the flap motor wires through there as well). I still need to drill the new holes in the seat ribs to run the wing bundles through to the terminal blocks.
At this point I'm just hanging the wires over the subpanel to keep them out of the way. I'm going to have to do some research and planning to figure out where all of the devices will go on the subpanel so I know where I can drill the holes to bring the wire bundles through. Van's has virtually zero guidance on the wiring, so I'm very thankful for the 30 years of info by other builders on the internet! The downside is that a lot of the info on the internet is from guys who built their planes before glass panels were a thing, so the approach tends to be a lot different. I do think that by going with the ACM I'm simplifying things quite a bit. For the most part I just have to figure out how to route wires from the peripheral devices to the ACM, then the ACM handles all of the circuit breakers and middle-man interfaces between devices. Many of the wiring harnesses that are needed for between the ACM and devices in the panel will come with the ACM.
