They are the same, and I found it informative and a good overview. Glenn in

I highly recommend the RVator collection. Selected articles with lots of good
info on a wide range of topics.
I borrowed the Orndorf videos. I consider them more or less for entertainment.
Not much practiclal how-to, and they definitely use methods I wouldn't (didn't)
use, and a level of craftsmanship that isn't up to par. Not comprehensive,
either. They would have to be MANY hours long to try to cover everything.
The best way to learn is get started, and find someone who is ahead of you to get
some coaching from. My opinion.

Starting to think about wiring issues - two questions come to mind:
1. How are wires (strobe/ tail light) normally taken off the rudder
onto the fuse so that mechanical movement of the wire does not lead to
failure of the wires and friction in the rudder system? The route is a bit
curious also. Presumably everyone is keeping the wires below the lowest
hinge?
2. For electric trim folk how are you joining the servo wires at the
back end. It almost needs two undoable joints. I) to be able to remove the
servo from inside the elevator, and ii) to disconnect the elevator from the
fuse. The aeroelectric solution 'A "Little Connector" Solution for MAC
servos . . .' seems to fit the bill for these but the idea of two connectors
seems to introduce complexityd can only reduce reliability. I wondered how
others have approached this.
Anyone have pictures of these?
Thanks Steve

I (and others) put the rudder light wires inside of some vinyl tubing. You
can come out of the rudder in the bottom of the opening for the lower hinge
and go into the tail cone in the area between the bottom skin and the VS
doubler. This makes a nice "S" turn and minimizes wires movement. Also there
are rubber grommets that have small ID's and quite large OD's. If you put 1
in the inboard HS rib and another in the HS rear spar, a small connector at
the trim servo in the elevator could be pulled clear back into the tail
cone.

Roger,
How about another option with the manual trim? I just updated my website to include
some pictures of my relocated manual trim control. To get the trim knob mounitng
plate and fuel selector housing out of the way, I relocated the trim knob
between the seats and angle the fuel selector housing down in the front. This
keeps them both out of the way!
Take a look at http://www.toddhoug.com and select the the "Manual Trim Control"
under the "Tips, Tricks, Tools and Mods" menu heading.

Ok, I hate to bring up this oldie again, but now it's crunch time on
the decision. I ordered my tail with manual trim, but I guess I'm
not 100% committed to this decision. I am tall, 6'3", and have read
that some people this size feel that the manual trim knob gets in the
way. But I like the positive feel of the manual, getting just the
right trim every time. Can anybody put the clincher on this for me,
or should I flip a coin?
