Is that correct?
    I don't think it matters whether you have 2x 2-wire cables or 1x 4-wire cable. You just have to make sure they have the correct
    current-carrying capacity and are shielded if they run anywhere near the magnetometer. The "other" wires you saw where possibly
    used for the pitot heat, navigation lights, or magnetometer.

    thank you for that Victor! I really appreciate it. I obviously knew building an airplane would be quite the task, but dang do I have a lot to learn! Ha ha
