Bob,
Attached is a jpeg of my cad drawing of what I am using to wire my RV7-A.
The wire numbers are mostly the same as van's wiring diagram numbers & I
also have most of the guage wire that is to be used on each wire & have also
labeled each wire under clear shrink tubing as to where it goes. Hope it is
of some assistance.
Stan
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
RV-7A

Fellow RV builders,
I am finishing my RV-7 wings and installing the standard pitot tube system. I
emailed the group and received some very good information. Most builders are
using nylon tubing and transitioning from the aluminum tube somewhere in the wing.
However if you follow Van's instructions and use the "center" hole in the
main ribs, the aluminum tubing will block access to the center fuel tank "Z"
bracket bolt, not a good thing. So it appears to me that if you are going to
run the tubing down the "center" hole, you better transition to nylon tubing
before it blocks the bolt. This means you really need to transition to nylon
tubing right behind the AN bulkhead fitting for the pitot tube.
Am I off base?
If I knew of this before I skinned (top skin) my wings, I might have drilled a
tube routing hole further aft in the main rib to accommodate the aluminum tubing.

I drilled new routing holes and ran aluminum all the way in to the wing root
where I installed an AN fitting. That way there is no splice transition
point in the line to cause future trouble, I could route it where it was out
of the way and I don't have to worry about it in the future. It's not
really any heavier and it's simple to do.
