Then wrapped the wire with spiral wrap and ran them through. From there I simply dropped them into the lower fiberglass part on the rudder and ran them back. I put a connector on all wires with about a 4" pigtail on the light fixture so I can remove the light, disconnect the wires, then pull the wire bundle out the front of the rudder to remove it. The wires really don't flex much with rudder movement. - Andy Karmy andy@karmy.com On Aug 23, 2004, at 2:28 PM, Bob Smith wrote: > --> RV9-List message posted by: "Bob Smith" > > > For those of you who elected to put a marker light/strobe on the rudder > (mounted in the lower fiberglass faring), how did you run the wire? > Seems > that getting the wire out of the fuselage and into the rudder, > including the > necessary flexing, is a bit of a problem.

I've been flying over 2 years and have had no cracking. There is some bowing between the ones across the top only while flying from air pressure changes. It is very easy and fast to remove and replace the cowling. I'm going to do it again on my RV9A, but will use camlocs from Spruce because the skybolt kit is so expensive. I do like their template and connector tools, though.

Building a RV-8A QB in my garage 5 minutes from Santa Monica Airport and "need extra hands". Willing to help somebody with their project TOO. My wife does not want to get involved and the local EAA Chapter is all composite builders. At the rate I am making progress it will take me 5 life times to complete !!!!!

Apparently this system drives a BMA 2 axis autopilot. Looking at all of this gives me aN IFR panel for about $11k including the transponder and 2 axis A/P. The similar setup using the GNS 430 comes in at about $14.5K with single axis A/P. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this set up? I haven't started IFR training yet so I'm fumbling a little on all the requirements...Not sure about the "indicator lights" (marker beacon?) that are apparently built into the Nav head that the GNS 430 would drive.

This is an effort to make sure you dont think your doing something like following a localizer when in reality the instrument is being driven by the GPS. -- John -----Original Message----- Hi Guys, I haven't started IFR training yet so I'm fumbling a little on all the requirements...Not sure about the "indicator lights" (marker beacon?) that are apparently built into the Nav head that the GNS 430 would drive.
