Geek's STi Build

[Geek]

I try to follow along on build threads to learn -- I take delivery of my kit in a couple weeks, but when I read posts like the last several... I gotta be honest -- I think OMG... what have I done???

Maybe I'll go complete old school and have no electrical system at all.

Dave the adventure is just beginning. Yeah there are a lot of things that you deal with and learn but that"s half the fun of it. The good news is that there are a bunch of really good people on the forum here that are more than happy to help you out with any questions or issues. Kitfox itself has been more than helpful for me when I have questions. Not sure how Brandon does it but he is always there to answer my dunderhead questions and such. You'll be fine and your kit will open up some really fun stuff and introduce you to some really great people!!

Looking forward to hearing about your progress once you get the kit!!

The above statement would definitely be easier to do but not nearly as nice to operate. Haha
Wiring was the biggest task for me. But it all came together in the end.
Now when I touch a location on the screen and hit the autopilot to take me there.......It was all worth it!

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!!!

The obligatory smoke check has been completed. No smoke.

Thanks. Yeah I was pretty happy about that don't you know. Only issue I have so far is the brick I have that looks like a GTR-200B. Doesn't even light up. Power and grounds are good so I guess it's off to the Garmin Xperts.

Your com that's DOA on arrival is a real disappointment.

You have to wonder if it was tested prior to shipment, or they just test "some" in that run and play the odds.
It's very concerning because these LRU's are not cheap by any means.
Good news at least yours will be covered by Garmin's warranty and after a quick test and check it will be up and running!

You'll just have to do the shipping fandango and hope they don't drop kick it when they see "Fragile Electronics" on the box!
Lot's of other stuff to do bud, so get after it.

From your lips to God's ears my friend. Hope you're right.
