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: http://www.abesco.net/productus/products/fp200.php The suggestion about conduit is important. Get as much conduit in the baggage floors as you can.

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. From: ibspud@roadrunner.com 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 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:17:33 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Quick Build fuselage (landing gear fittings) From: "dhmoose" 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. nukeflyboy wrote: > Don't take apart anything that you don't have to. I didn't understand the comment about removing the right fuel tank to install the stall warning.

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 Halmos RV-10 builder #41059 Empennage complete!

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. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - Need to start panel Rest almost done Breathing too much fiberglass dust Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=341901#341901 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/001reduced_169.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/008_2_reduced_202.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/007_2_reduced_432.jpg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:31:34 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Quick Build fuselage (landing gear fittings) From: "nukeflyboy" David, I couldn't recall which floor panels were installed with the QB and which ones I did.

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.....
