I got the CANBUS wire run for the right wing. I also got the power run for the GMU and the GSA but I decided I’m going to up the wire size for the GSA from 22ga to 20ga due to the 2.8 amps it could pull and the distance I’m running. I just feel more comfortable having that gauge so it isn’t so close to the limits of the wire. I’ll have to wait for that to come in. I also am going to have to research how to terminate this CANBUS wire as it isn’t the same wire we used in the class. He said we should use the CANBUS specific wire for our long runs but that it was okay to use the mil-spec wire for the shorter runs in the panel, etc. Well the construction of the shielding is way different so I’ll more than likely need to get solder sleeves which I don’t have any right now.
