1) I am putting the battery in the back and was putting the platenuts on when 
I noticed that only the master solenoid was to be installed with the battery 
in the aft location per the drawing yet I think I've always seen pictures on 
the 'net where folks put both master and starter solenoids back there together

with the battery.  Why would Van recommend against that and why are folks 
seeming to disregard that and installing both back there?

2) For those mounting the King ELT (big orange brick), how do you plan to 
change the batterys or otherwise pull it out without first removing the 
rudder/VS?  My trial fit showed it wasn't going to come out with the VS on.

Just in from the garage with yet another question after Van's has closed for 
the weekend.

Hi,

To avoid re-inventing the wheel, has anyone got
a design for putting two batteries in the back
on an RV8?  I'm looking at something about the
size of an Odyssey 680, I believe.

Thanks,
Mickey
