| Subject: | Re: Battery Installation and Wire Routing Provisions |
Hi Stan,
I would have used the right lower baggage compartment had I thought about
it early enough. I couldn't figure out how to mount the battery securely
after having riveted up the floors.
On the cables in back, I drilled a couple of holes, made doublers for the
bulkheads and think it is pretty secure. I do have a tendency to over
build things, so my bird will not be the lightest. Let me know what you d
ecide.
Regards,

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 th
at 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 an
d 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 ea
ch one. I=99
m 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 lookin
g 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.
