    Default What wire do I order

    My build is happening in January. As it's being shipped to Australia Im packing the box full as I can to get free shipping. I'm pretty much going with the KitFox Garmin package they use. I'm not getting the G3X and G5 till later, but have ordered the Auto pilot and servos X 3, remote radio, pitot tube. Gtx45R. I would like to buy the wire needed to wire up the plane and any other ( Sport with 916. ) items to chuck in the box. I'm sure someone has a list of lengths and sizes that would be a good start to get most of it done. Also Antenna suggestions? Do I need a remote GPS, magnetometer, Adsb antenna ??.
    As you can appreciate shipping to Australia is $100 USD even for small items. So the more I can get the more I save. What an I missing from those who have done this before.
    Thanks Lyndon

    I ordered all my stuff through Stein Air... you may have something closer to where you are at. The Garmin manuals specify which wire to order. There is a bit of a learning curve in learning to read the diagrams. For power items like lights you would need to refer to AC4313B. There is a reference table. If you are in doubt... there is an online electrical wiring class offered by EAA. Without knowing your background, it would probably be a good investment for most.
