| Subject: | Battery Installation and Wire Routing Provisions |
I=99m looking for feedback on adding wire routing holes to F-806B
and F-807A. Specifically, I could use an additional set on the right
side so that I can route the transponder antenna cable under the floor.
I have the one set, matching the left side battery cable routing holes,
which I intend to use for ADAHRS and A/P pitch servo cable wire routing.
I=99m planning 1 ea. 5/8=9D dia. hole in F-806B at
2.5=9D outboard of the rudder cable hole and just outboard of the
F-813R-1 Seat Rib in F-807. Van=99s has no comment. Guess the
builder mod=99s here have been too many and varied to analyze each
one. I=99m more than willing to go on past experience.
Also question re battery installation. I=99m going with an O-360
and 3-bladed Catto prop, so I think a forward battery makes sense. Was
looking at the lower right side of the baggage compartment, but that
looks next to impossible in a QB. Has anyone else done that?
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

Hi Stan,
The RV-8 is really setup nice for a rear battery installation. Works out very
nicely. My RV-8, while it does have a Hartzell CS prop, its REALLY nose heavy,
especially flying solo. If you're going with an IO360, I think you're still
going to be fine with a rear mounted battery even if you go with a lighter Catto
prop. I wish I could put TWO batteries back there... ;-)
