So as you know SPAMES and I spent a great deal of time working on the wiring and I must say for the amount of wires we had to deal with in such a small heli it came out good.

But I am never satisfied with the wiring on any heli I have ever owned to date. So today SPAMES and I went to the hobby shop to look for fuel tubing and fuel for his machine. While there I decided that I would buy some tools and connectors and redo my wiring in an attempt to achieve the a really clean heli.

So for this first post I will show you what it looked like when SPAMES and I finished.

So now you have a glimpse of the work SPAMES and I did. It didn't take to long and come out pretty nice.

So here are the tools that I purchased today and in the recent past to help with this job.

One thing I do not have have to take a picture of is the Wire Mesh / Loom that we used. But I am sure you know what that looks like.

Maybe SPAMES can send me a picture of what he has and I can add it here.

So now you see the before pictures and the tools purchased to complete this job.

Now I am going to show you some images of the actual work. Much of the work is repetitive so I only took pictures of some of the process.

So here we go.

Now that you see some of the work that was involved, I want to show you what it looks like complete.

Eventually I may take some time to describe what you see in each image but for now I will just answer questions as they are asked.
