The wiring for the lit ships must be done & tested, like last week!

Planet V's Through Deck Carrier's power-pins with volatge reducing resistors. A grove needs to be made in the barrell bit used in the ship clamp mount, to hold the power cable for the carrier's lit runway. Joe's wired a mobile power pad for the little tug to allow final mounting later.

A powered test jack energizes the dock and ship. Another view of the lights shining on the ship.
A test jack brings power into the spine, showine the lights work and the carrier's runway lights are getting power.  The power for the shuttle bay comes through a mini hardline coaxial antenna cable.  Hopefully it will look like a refueling line for the fighter bay.
