Is there a concise recommendation somewhere for these subjects and do I have to make these choices before I start? Dave ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:46:19 PM PST US From: B Tomm Subject: RE: RV7-List: newbie --> RV7-List message posted by: B Tomm Welcome Dave, I too decided on the RV7A after about 20 years of wanting to build an airplane. You will learn a lot by monitoring several newsgroups. For electrical I strongly suggest aeroelectric-list@matronics.com. There are others for engines etc. Where are you located?

Dave ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:50:27 PM PST US From: "Merems" , , , Subject: RV7-List: Tru-Trak pre-install --> RV7-List message posted by: "Merems" Gents, I am planning of putting in a single axis Tru-Trak auto pilot in my RV-7A someday. So I plan on purchasing the bracket to do a pre-install while working on my wings. How large a diameter is the wire bundle leading to the servo. Is a 1/4 ID snap grommet adequate to route this cable? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You'll be very happy with it. Don't install the bracket to hold the aileron bell crank in the left wing. Tru-trak will be supplying a new one to hold the servo. Have fun building it's worth it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merems" ; ; ; Subject: RV7-List: Tru-Trak pre-install > --> RV7-List message posted by: "Merems" > > Gents, > > I am planning of putting in a single axis Tru-Trak auto pilot in my RV-7A someday.

They should all fit in a 1/4" snap bushing.
