Default Letting a pro handle my avionics and panel wiring

I have been fretting over planning my panel and wiring avionics. So sometimes a little humor helps. Our kitchen wall has become a canvas for our little one, so I let her have a go at planning my avionics and panel wiring. Here's the brief:

"The blue wire connects to this button."


"This orange wire goes to ground."



"That's all there is to it!"



"YOU are welcome!"


I cannot wait until the day I can take my best creation on a ride in my second best creation.

Thanks Jacie!

It's like I have always said, "wiring is so easy, a child......"

Very cute!

The most important lesson here - " it's critical to color code your wires" ! :-)
