Would you > please elaborate? What did you use in place of their 5-wire cable? Sure Charles. You see, I like quiet (electrically) airplanes and electric motors produce a lot of electrical noise. Have you ever heard a whine on the intercom when a trim motor was activated? To keep things quiet I used shielded twisted cable on all motor and audio wiring. I standardized on MIL 27500 cable. On the hydraulic power unit (HPU) I took two (power and ground) #10 (28volt system) wires and twisted them tightly together with an electric drill to reduce radiation. MAC wire is very flexible but does not have Tefzel insulation and is not shielded.
