Pflanzler's web site and it made bite-size pieces. I suppose I can render
these pencil drawings to CAD later if I wish.

Absolutely! The most important document for your
project is the shop notebook. Develop all the wiring
in this book with the #2 pencil and Pink Pearl eraser.
Some day when it's too wet or snowy to fly, sit down
at the CAD system and pretty-up your drawings. I've used
this technique for decades on all manner of skunk-werks
projects. This eliminates a lot of lost motion when
one runs back and forth between computer and shop in
some attempt to keep a computer based drawing up to
date. This is exactly the kind of lost motion that drives
up the costs of our type certificated ships when EVERY
change to a design has to be in the computer and approved
by a dozen folks before that change can go onto the airplane.
It's killing us.
