Navigation lights and wiring:

...
i The navigation lights were trimmed and measured then removed and covered with the Fyre-Braid , I left this circuit separate from the retracts
and it also houses the tail rotor extension. The two lit LED's  in the first pic are for the sides. A plug attaches
the rear leads after the tail rotor extension which is 22 gauge servo wire from MAXX products (1-800-416-6299). Nice company....
The side lights made from scrap white plastic and CA.The LED's are CA glued in from behind and then squared off with sandpaper to get the
right shape.Glue in the bulb first, sand it to shape, then add palstic pieces around it, some final sanding and you have it!
 

...
 The rim of the rear tail light gets painted later, I still have to fit the tail cap fully... I use plug here for easy removal later. The DATA BUS is
mounted in such a way that it is visible from the window when the side door is in place, I bolted it using 3 mm button head bolts using 3 mm nuts
to space it off the wood plate I made and to bolt it down.
 
 
 

...
  A cover is made from scraps of plastic from the cockpit kit as shown here....then tacked in place with a small drop of goop.

...
The finished installation.                                                                        Here the retracts and lighting wires run to the rear along the side bearers.
                                                                                                          Again all 22 gauge wires used.
 

...
   Most of the components installed, GYRO will go between light box and receivers or along side of it... Here the light box housing made from the
package it came in, just cut down. The batteries get pushed up all the way into the nose covered in foam padding. I will also run a small pack
feeding the JR Match box soon to be installed. The gyro sensor will mounted up ahead of the light box in the next compartment . It is very
important not to cross wires of the ECU and receiver systems. The ECU generates a RF noise signal that is not wanted near the receiver.

 II have yet to finish all the way, e.g.: components up front, but here
it is all done. I use the heat shield tape here around the drive shaft to reduce
or all but eliminate heat transfer from the exhaust. Ceramic paint here in the rear
compartment (uncovered).The black ahead of it only protects the the wood and
looks nice, there is still ceramic paint under the black in the critical areas.

I still have the steps and some other items to do , final wiring of servos to mechs and wire layout,
Removable tail skid and plumbing for turbine fuel system.
