You must have one of the later -7 kits if that was the case. Early -7
tail kits weren't fully pre-punched, the ribs and front spar came
un-punched and you have to align them with the (pre-punched) skins to
mark the holes. I wouldn't want to do that without a jig.
Later (and current) -7 tail kits come fully punched, so completely that
you can assemble the entire HS with clecos straight out of the box. I
can see where that would remove the need for a jig, but if your jig is
true I doubt it would hurt.

Gentlemen:
I am building a RV-7 QB and am at the point where I am thinking about the wingtip
landing lights/position lights and the general wiring of the aircraft.
This is where I need help.
I don't know what gauge or type of wire goes where. Should I get one of those
wiring harnesses from Van's (I've heard that they are too much for what you
get) or build my own wire by wire?

My Suggestions
1) Start by going to http://www.aeroelectric.com/ and ordering Bob's
book
2) Try to attend one of his seminars
3) Subscribe to the AeroElectric-List to ask electrical questions
http://www.matronics.com/subscription
4) Have your radios, intercom and navigational equipment pre-wired if
you can
5) Wire the rest of the airplane yourself

Bob,
One place to start is to obtain Van's documentation and wiring diagrams
before you decide to order the kit. If you know of anyone close to you, maybe
you
can look over their diagrams. The individual circuits are very simple, but
there a lot of little decisions to make. The wire sizes, etc., are called out
in Van's plans.
Hope this helps,
Dan Hopper
