I did not pull the floors. You can access the front ones through the lightening
holes under the seats, For the back ones I drilled a few holes at one end. I
used a big magnet, vacuum, and borescope - saw nothing. I then filled them with
Abesco FP200 fire proof foam. It is closed cell, won't burn, and gives a solid
feel to the floor. Pretty pink color matches the canopy (g). Only expands about
2x. Here is the manufacturer:

The suggestion about conduit is important. Get as much conduit in the baggage floors
as you can.

you don't need a cable. It works just fine the way it is even in an airline
r from a window seat. An RV with all the plexiglass windows and some with a
fiberglass top (RV-10) gives a direct shot to the satelites. Since I'm sti
ll building my -10=2C my experiences have been in Cessnas. Usually have 5 m
eter accuracy.

Subject: RV10-List: iPad/BadElf GPS
I was anticipating using an extension cable so the GPS receiver could be pl
aced near the top of the windscreen and the iPad on my knee in flight but I
have been unable to find an extension cable that works with the BadElf. Is
anyone using an extension cable that works and would mention where they ob
tained it from?Albert GardnerN991RVYuma=2C AZ

Dave, what wire/cable are you running under the front floor panels? It seems like
there isn't anything passing through that area and since I'm about to close
it up, I thought I'd ask. What about antennas? I was planning the transponder
antenna to go in the midline (under the tunnel) , not under the floor panels
of the pilot/right seater. Thanks.

runs under the floor. This is a convenient place to run cable out of the way
and the wires can be pulled later. You can also consider insulating the floor
at the same time, though that is clearly optional.

David,
I couldn't recall which floor panels were installed with the QB and which ones
I did. You are correct - there is no need to run anything under the front floorboards.
I have run quite a bit under the rear seat pans and baggage floor.
My comm antennas are attached on the belly just aft of the rear wing spar with
the coax running forward just above the rear spar and then to the side panel
(see photo).
There is plenty of room to run wires along the sides starting forward and running
aft to the rear seat side panel. At this point my wires dive under the floor
and emerge aft of the baggage compartment at the battery.

| Subject: | Nose Wheel Noise |
Does anyone else's nose wheel make noise when steering (left and right motion,
not rotary motion). I have greased it thru the zerk fitting and tried a few other
things which help, but only for a short time. Are others seeing this? Any
ideas how to fix? My next step is a full disassembly and re- grease it all
up.....
Thanks
