Wiring Diagrams

F-28
F-31Owners of F-28s and F-31s built between 1997 and 2001 should be aware that Corsair used buried wiring in the cabin roof of these models, and care should be taken when adding deck fittings, so as not to drill through such wiring. I requested Corsair to supply maps of such wiring in May 2002 but they have never responded.
