Anybody here taken gone through this?

I found some ten year old feedback here and seems it wasn't all positive, but most I see from other sources now are pretty decent. I am an avionics tech by trade so most of this stuff I do every day on really big airplanes. :) I see some stuff in there thought that does catch my eye. Back when I started the business, we would hand draw schematics when we did modifications. Now... I have never used any CAD program. "I have people for that"!
At any rate, just curious if anyone has taken this particular course from HPA.
Nope. I've watched the freebie video tho. I'm just not interested in concentric wrapped wire looms.
^ That. A lot of their videos have a lot of the complexity for the sake of complexity that has taken over the motorsport industry (yes I'm aware of the advantages of "neat" or aviation type wiring)
In reply to Ranger50 :
I have noticed that is the new "cool kid" thing.
If you do airplane stuff it may not be quite as useful. What are you trying to get out of it to supplement what you already know?
I doubt there's anything that you would find particularly useful if you already know how to do wiring.
As someone who's designed a lot of wire harnesses: good harnesses are tedious, not complex.
In reply to Paul_VR6 (Forum Supporter) :
Just wanting to supplement what I know. Wanting to see what is there that may be more applicable to race cars than airplanes. I mean we rarely EVER use coencentric twisted harnesses in the Airbus. But they show some sheathing and termination type stuff we never use either. Pinning a connector... I can do all day long.
Vibration from rough race tracks does strange things to connections and connectors.
I hand built Pre FI NASCAR Harnesses for the three major series.
Duty cycles on pins and sockets was always a critical area of concern, as well as fluids, dirty and extreme vibration affects on the physical harness connector.

Good luck

Thanks man!
