One other thing u have to be careful with is the plug removal, install them
as to be able to install and remove the spark plugs. Contact me off list

I have the AFS3500 EGT kit. Any suggestions or better yet pictures of the
final installed position of the sensors?
I was told to install 2" out from the flange on the engine. I am worried
about the clocking so that the wire ends do not interfere with the cowling.
Any suggestions, comments and pictures appreciated

Make sure as you set them up you also have your plugs and wires in
place so you don't interfere there. If you do that and then clock
them as low profile as possible you should be ok.

Mike;
How soon do you need pics.? I have the same setup. I can pull the
cowling this weekend and take a few pics if that would help.

Can't remember exactly what distance was recommended (2"-4"?), but I believ
e the critical element is to make them all the same.- I think mine are 3"
... Make sure you measure the inside radius of the pipe and make a mark, an
d then the outside of the radius of the pipe and make another mark.- Then
figure where the sensor needs to be to clear everything (plugs, wires, etc
), and then draw a line between those tow marks.- I kept mine to the insi
de thus avoiding the cowl problem.

I am working on my elevators and thinking about how I want to proceed.
While I may go all self built, I want to consider all of my options.
This question is mainly for those who are flying or have finished their
fuselage. If you had to make a choice of one or the other, would you go
for the quickbuild wings or the quickbuild fuselage?

I don't think you'll get much debate. QB Wings over QB fuselage.
The fuselage goes together quicker and is more interesting (i.e. less
repetitive work). The fuselage requires less proseal too! (i.e fuel tanks
are built in the QB wings)
I think a better question to ask is what will be the quality level of the
QBs with the new factory? Unfortunately, nobody will know that answer until
this summer when they start to ship.
I'm doing a standard build of both.

Depends on how much you want to build, I would go SB the whole way, as I
did, you lose so much of the building experience getting the QB. If you are
sold on one or the other the fuselage requires more work than the wings did,
the only section in the wings that are a challenge is the fuel tanks and
that just requires an attention to detail, if you are meticulous in applying
the proseal that section can be fun as well and really no big deal.
So if in a rush, get the fusellage QB if not do the SB and enjoy the
building process.

Gee, I don't know. I've met more than a handful of people
so far with leaky rivets on fuel tanks from QB Wings. I'd
never want to have my tanks built there based on what I've
seen so far in that respect. But, you're right, based
on the new Philippines issues, it may be safest just to
skip all the QB stuff and do it all yourself. You'd save
enough to buy or almost buy a GNS-430W while you're doing it.
As far as I'm concerned though, the proseal job of
building tanks may suck, but it certainly is bearable
and it's over pretty quick...I'd do it again no
problem.

The reason I said wings is...that's the part that's flying, it's the
majority of rivets. I've bought two sets of QB wings...both were almost
flawless. I can't do that good of riveting myself...I went QB all the way
on my -7A. On the 10, went QB wing...happy with that, but would have been
fine either way really. I'd say look at a QB wing if you can...then look at
a first timers wing...make your choice.

I just ordered slow build wings and I'm fine with slow build all the way but
it depends on how fast you want to finish. I heard of issues with leaking
quickbuild tanks in the past. I don't know if it has been resolved but that
might be something to consider.

I don't know what percentage of QB tanks leak vs SB or "owner built"...but I
can't believe it can be much different. With over 50 RV's based at this
airpark and in my own experiences of being around people who have finished
up their planes and fueled and flown...I just don't see a huge difference in
how many leak...QB vs SB. I've seen just a few leakers from each type, but
I don't really see a chronic problem either way. Chalk up my QB tanks
(knocking on wood now) and everyone I know around me as non leakers. The
only leakers I know of around here (total of maybe six) except one or two
have all been owner built tanks.

I wish I hadn't ordered a QB fuse (Or wings for that matter) last
December.
I'm feeling like July or August is optimistic at this time. I really
wish I had ordered parts only.
I'd cancel my order now, but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If I cancel, I'm starting over from scratch 5 months late and I might be
getting a QB fuse in a few months. A fuse completed to QB status is
more than 3-6 months of work for me to do. So it's a catch 22.
If I was ordering again, I'd just order the parts. Regardless of wings
or fuse.

We had a Cessna 421 out for a pressurization check the other night when the
windscreen blew out. All broken pieces went out into the slip screen and
after the in rush pressurized the cabin, there was no blast into the
airplane. pilots reported a bit of noise and one felt out for the windscreen
and found it gone. They maintained 160Kts back to base and landed. no
injuries and I saw the airplane in the hangar awaiting a new windscreen. It
appears that if the back of the aircraft had an exit point for the air the
drag would have been catastrophic.

Simple math:

Fuse Fuel Tanks = 0
QB wings, SB Fuse IMHO.

Subject: | Which Quickbuild Would You Recommend? |
Dave,
The SB wings are largely repetition - 2 essentially identical parts.
Each of them have a lot of ribs. There is nothing at all complex about
building the wings - imagine a much larger scale version of the H-stab.
Fuel tanks aren't that difficult either, just messy. They're also
almost identical to the outboard leading edge assemblies, except for the
proseal :)
The SB fuselage is a lot more involved - longerons to be bent/twisted,
lower forward/aft cabin skins to be rolled around a hardwood form, etc.
The fuselage requires a lot more head scratching than the wings.
Just depends on why you're considering QB - if it's to avoid complex
construction go with the QB fuselage, if it's to avoid a lot of
repetitious, mundane type of building then go with QB wings.

I am working on my elevators and thinking about how I want to proceed.
While I may go all self built, I want to consider all of my options.
This question is mainly for those who are flying or have finished their
fuselage. If you had to make a choice of one or the other, would you go
for the quickbuild wings or the quickbuild fuselage?

Jeff,
It would help to know what was going in your plane/panel...
- If B&C alternator you'll need to put the regulator(s) there.
- If GRT EIS you'll need to mount the manifold pressure sensor there
- The forest of tabs should be in the aft side of the firewall rather
than the subpanel
- If you've got an AFS AOA the process will go on the subpanel
- potentially an AHRS or GADHRS depending on the EFIS
- Potentially a Wx receiver

Subject: | Re: Which Quickbuild Would You Recommend? |
Maybe it just comes down to why you are building. Build everything
yourself if you can. If you are short on time, because of age or because
of "life happening", then consider quick build. I say "consider quick
build" because in a perfect world the quick builds would be, well,
perfect but we know they have their short comings. Many building starts
end with incompletions. If quick builds will make the difference between
not finishing and flying a mostly self constructed plane, then the
answer is obvious.

I was told to install 2" out from the flange

about the clocking so that the wire ends
do not interfere with the
cowling.

Jeff,
Bob's right, you will want the manifold pressure sender back there.
Possibly also the ammeter shunt.
Depending on how many antennas you have, you may need a couple of splitters.
If you have two nav antennas and a glideslope antenna, the point is moot.
But if you are using a single nav antenna, it's going to get interesting.
The SL30 splits its glideslope signal internally, but the 430 does not. So
the SL has only one antenna input; the 430 has two: nav and glideslope.
I took the single nav signal from the antenna, and split it into two signals
with a Comant splitter. One side went into the SL30, which took care of its
own glideslope. The other side gets split into nav and glideslope with
another Comant splitter for the Garmin.
I learned that there are two nav/glideslope splitters--one that goes from
nav to nav + glideslope, and one that goes the other way. Get the cheaper
one--they're identical and only differentiated for FAA purposes. And
pricing...

We had a Cessna 421 out for a pressurization check the other night when the
windscreen blew out. All broken pieces went out into the slip screen and
after the in rush pressurized the cabin, there was no blast into the
airplane. pilots reported a bit of noise and one felt out for the windscreen
and found it gone. They maintained 160Kts back to base and landed. no
injuries and I saw the airplane in the hangar awaiting a new windscreen. It
appears that if the back of the aircraft had an exit point for the air the
