01/11/2023 - Aileron trim 3 - 2h30

Short work session with some more work on the ailerontrim. This time I installed the molex pins on the trim motor and added  some heat shrink for stiffening the electrical wires coming out of the motor case.

 Pins inserted in the molex connector.

Next ran some wires to Bus Bar 1 to connect the aleron trim push button wires to the VPX (later replaced towards the Dynon SV_AP_Panel as in my case, Dynon receives and controls the trims through the autopilot system).
