I ran cables in every possible niche. I have the IO-390, MT CS 3 blade, one battery in the lower front baggage and one under the aft baggage shelf. My plane is not nose heavy at all - solo or dual. Mine was a QB and installation of the forward battery was not difficult, just time consuming. Contact me offline if you'd like links to the photos showing the areas you have questions about.

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.
