Its alive...its alive (insert your evil scientist laugh here). Got the battery connected tonight and decided it was time to test drive the panel. With fire extinguisher ready...in case the smoke tries to leave the wires, and tissues handy...also in case the smoke escapes the wires, I built up the courage to flip the battery switch. Click, there was power, no smoke. Pressed the avionics master...click. All is well. One by one the circuit breakers were closed. Yay, no issues. Installed the avionics in the rack, powered everything back up and am happy to report that the electrons are going to the right place and it looks like it works just like it did the day it left Stein's shop. My only issue is the transponder (Garmin 330) screen powers up, but there is no display. Time to pull out the manual and do some troubleshooting. Still a good day.
