Panel wiring help

While waiting for my fuselage and finishing kits to arrive, I've built a panel mock-up and started buying breakers, switches, wires, an AFS EFIS/ADAHARS/EngSensor kit, GTR200, etc.

I'd really like to find a complete, very basic panel wiring diagram showing all the elements, wire gauges, bus bars, grounding terminals, etc.

Also, photos of the actual installation would really help..

Anyone know where such a thing can be found? I've searched the forum but only found bits and pieces..

Thanks in advance...
 
Jeremy, thanks! just what I needed to see..nothing like pics to make the wiring diagrams come to life!
 
Thanks

Jeremy-------thanks for the photos, really high end craftsmanship there.

You should submit some of the shop photos to Paul's "show us your workshop" contest.

Bob Nuckolls offers timeless best practice advice in his book and the aerolectric connection. I also found the on line installation instructions and planning tools for the VP-X system to very helpful, regardless whether you use the VPX electronic breaker or not.
