| Subject: | Endless questions |
Next year's goal is to build out my QB fuselage and I want to install as
much inside as I can before closing it up. Leads to numerous component
location questions. Some are Dynon Skyview specific. Here's my list,
all suggestions/recommendations/observations thankfully received:
ELT and antenna, Skyview GPS module, Skyview transponder, and Vertical
Power VP-X. Shorter list than I thought. Must be overlooking a few
items. I think I have the ADAHRS location figured out-probably on the
baggage shelf unless there's someplace better. Also, I have to decide
if I want access to the aft side of the panel through a cut-out in the
F866B bulkhead. Awkward to cut in place and I will have large holes in
the panel anyway for displays and only wiring harnesses on the backside.
One more:
Is anyone flying with the MGL Mini EMS? I'm going Skyview for my PFD
and GPS, but I want a dedicated engine display.
The MGL unit looks like the most bang for the buck, but their website
has been my only source of information so far.
That's all I can think of for now. Probably just a start. Here's to a
better year all around. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Stan,
For me this has been the hardest part of the build. No real guidance is giv
en for all the "systems" installation, wiring runs, servos, magnetometers a
nd such. I've pieced alot together from looking at what others have done bu
t we all are putting in such diverse systems that it's hard to find much in
formation in one place. Where are you putting your battery? -8 or -8a, VFR
or IFR, are you building the panel yourself or having an avionics shop do i
t?
Kai

Stan, I'm not sure exactly what your asking. I built and fly an RV-8a which
has a MGL EFIS with AP and SV GPS that I gain access to via a removable pa
nel that I access through the baggage compartment. I have a new 406/9 kh EL
T and invisible mounted antenna. What can I help you with? You can contact
me by phone at 478-731-9678 or pm and best regards, Bill N288WP, RV-8a 30.
2 hrs into Phase 1

I have spent a lot of time designing a removable panel. My goal is to have
a sub-assembly that I can take out and service on the bench.
I designed the whole panel in 3D CAD to fit 10# into a 5# bag. You are doi
ng far less, so you will have less trouble. I have dual GRT, dual AHRS, Tr
uTrak AP, SL30, GNS430, GMA340 and GTX327. I just added a NavWorx ADS-B an
d a second GPS (actually a third - the ADS-B has a WAAS GPS built in). Yo
u can see the CAD at
http://mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=danbeadle&project=88&cat
egory=1659&log=134967&row=25
You can see the pilot's view at http://mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?u
ser=danbeadle&project=88&category=1659&log=134897&row=28. Notice
the two indentations on each side of the panel. The upper one is to clear
the windshield roll bar mounting bolts. The lower ones are cosmetic. The
whole subassembly comes out. I have all connections coming out to either
D-Sub connectors or Amp barrel connectors for the higher current loads. I
also have to remove two quick-connect pitot-static lines. Pulling the pane
l takes about 1/2 hour, but then working on it is easy.
I mounted the magnetometers aft of the baggage bay bulkhead. http://mykitl
og.com/users/display_log.php?user=danbeadle&project=88&category=1659&
log=135870&row
I am also using VPX-Pro. I mounted it under the avionics bay. http://mykit
log.com/users/display_log.php?user=danbeadle&project=88&category=7097
&log=134388&row=17
I am pretty happy with the design. It is very, very crowded, but it all fi
ts. I expect to make changes in the future ' I don't know what=85 So I d
esigned the rear of the bay to be screwed to the front panel. I can cut a
new panel and change over radios without major redesign of the rear.
If you are interested in doing something like this, I can provide you with
my 3D files or 2D drawings to get you started.
