    Under construction for the stellarator project Wendestein 7-X is a neutral beam heating system based on RF driven positive ion sources. It is planned to start operation with 2 sources capable of injecting 5 MW of heating power in deuterium. This paper gives the current status and future plans of the construction of the injector boxes and subsequent installation in the experimental hall. The fruitful collaboration with the National Center for Nuclear Research in Swierk, Poland is also detailed. Lastly, results from an initial study on fast ions in Wendelstein 7-X will be given.
