What part of the country?

That was a nice day's work! On the sliders, does the front half slide back, or the back half forward?

Cruising along at best trim position, do your props blowout in a hard turn?

Do you have a schedule for your glass?

You probably only need one good ground for the light circuit, but if I were replacing that bunch of grounds sprouting off of the single wire, I would replace that connection with a ground bus. Do you still have your old panel intact, so that you can at least see what color of wire comes off of...

3,2,1……

So, sticking with the Freedom 235, how much is the hardtop option from Grady?

Would be helpful to have a multi meter with an audible beep for continuity. One probe on the switch, the other to verify the wire at the end of the bundle.

And get a rocket launcher with at least six tubes straight up 15*, and maybe two out to the side. Four is just lost opportunity.

If it is original equipment, the nut should match the shaft, and it will be a heavy duty one piece threaded nut. If it is a replacement wheel, it may have an insert, which could be either threaded into the nut, or fit into a star shaped cut out on the back in the nut. YouTube is your friend, try...

I missed that you were reconnecting the battery. As said, probably left off a ground wire, since there are usually more black than red. If you can’t wire tie your cables together when they are on the battery, at least run a wire tie through the terminal loops when you disconnect them for the...

Is that an Edson wheel? If it was just a cover nut for the “real nut“ it would pop off rather than unscrew. I believe it has an insert to match the threads on the shaft, so they will both come off together, and the wheel should then come off the shaft.

Is the tilt trim also dead? Check the fuse under the engine cowling. There is usually a spare.

If you have an ebay account, click on it a few times, and you will get an auto-generated offer from the seller for $500.

Thanks, I will see it again in a couple if days.
