I am probably making a bigger issue of this than I should, but I have been
delaying this for too long. I just don't want to make these wires pass
through in the incorrect location. Can anyone direct me to some good photos
of the location they chose and hopefully a location which didn't interfere
with anything else.
Thanks,

John, I followed the Van's plan for routing those 2 wires. It gave a
good location for the firewall pass thru of the fat wire that one
probably wouldn't choose on their own. It also specified a routing
forward to the starter and alternator (I only have a 40amp Alt up front).

This is a helpful picture.
That hole on the right side of the plane(Left side while looking at the pic
ture)=2C near the upper engine mount/firewall tie in location will be for t
he alternator wires. What I was speaking of are all the wires for the senso
rs=2C CHT=2C Oil Pressure=2C Oil Temp=2C Oil Pressure switch=2C etc. I see
that you have them roughly in the same spot that I have been reluctant to d
rill because of the unknow.
Does anyone anyone have any issues with this location?
Thanks you. Nice helpful photo

I hope you are planning some fire protection for those firewall snap
bushings in your photo. I know Van's doesn't call for it, but they also
use aluminum to protect the center tunnel from a blast of burning avgas.

Here's another shot to consider. I ended up pulling my sensor wires a
bit lower down because I filled up back of the firewall with other
components - ground block, manifold pressure sensor, 2 LR3 Alt
controllers. By the time I got to the sensor wires, I had to move the
hole further down. I can't think of any gotcha's for any of these
locations.

I've started putting my POH together and I saw that there seems to be a small range
of recommended approach speeds. Most seem to be on the 65-70 kias while
some are on the higher end of 75-80 kias.
Anyone care to shed some light on your approach (pun intended).

G'day cjay,
Base @ 85, Final @ 75 over the fence @ 70 (kias) is typical for me. Short fields
are about 5 kias slower (but beware the sink rate).

That is about where I put my sensor wires. Try and leave that triangle

removing the oil filter when it is time to do the oil changes.

Below 70 and above 68 has treated me well for the first 100 hours. Very
easy to land this plane only feeling the mains spinning in their pants.
Stick in your crotch till all authority is lost and down the nose
touches. End a flight with a landing like that and the first time PAX
think you are Chuck Yeager. I am going to try to nudge my over the
fence speeds down 1-2 knots now to reduce run out. The Hartzell BA prop
generates a fair amount of thrust at idle.
YMMV,
Robin

I shoot for about 80 knots to lower the flaps approaching base and then
75ish knots base and final bleeding down to 658-70 over the threshold. Too
fast and this thing will float big time, too slow and the speed will drop
quickly and surprise you if you don't carry some power end game.
FWIW I like to be a little on the slower side with some power as it seems to
make the flare and smooth touchdown more predictable. The times I've been
most surprised are being below 70, idle power and need to make a slightly
aggressive flare due to winds, etc. I'm amazed and the energy bleed when
just above stall in this thing.
I suspect you'll get a range of answers and with everyone having an equally
diverse range of experience and techniques I recommend you try several
options and see what you are comfortable with.

If I am light (one or two people and short runway), 65 to 70 results in nice
approach with very short float and rollout. If I have a full load and
longer runway (Usually with fast traffic), I will use 75 - 80.

I second this. Keeping speeds up a little when heavy is important,
especially if you have a long runway. If you cross the fence much
over 70 otherwise you will float a ways. It usually sets down just
under 60.

90 downwind 80 base 70 final in knots that is I found controlling the
decent and flare with the throttle using the AOA is very cool takes a
bit of learning the technique but when the Mains just start spinning
like Robin says and holding off the nose till the tail stops flying is
the bomb.
Especially when the tower says nice landing I also use full flaps
unless a strong xwind, even then this is the easiest plane ever in a
xwind when using the methods I was taught and read about The rudder is
very good and has plenty of authority

Across the numbers between 65-70. But don't underestimate the part about
carrying a little power into the flare, blowing some extra air over the
elevator has a BIG effect on how this thing lands. Took me a while to
figure that out.

Well, this may be the only flying characteristics carried over from the
Maule... that is, a little power makes the flare work on a slow approach
and the best approach speed is around 65 (mph). I'm so looking forward
to it.
