Some great information and widely diverse opinions. Wayne Danville, Va ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:43:30 PM PST US From: "William Couvillon" Subject: RV9-List: Vert Stab...lighting? --> RV9-List message posted by: "William Couvillon" Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am getting ready to start on my VS and am reading ahead in the manual. I noticed that it stated I should include lighting or provisions for lighting prior to closing up with the rear spar. I was under the impression that I could hold off for a while until I plunged in to the lighting of the aircraft. What exactly should I be doing at this point? Does Van mean that I should just be sure to allow a straight shot opening to the upper fiberglass (which I will be doing much much later) or do I have to drop the cash and wire in my lighting package now? Also, do most of you install some kind tubing to later serve as conduit? Thanks as always.

However we used tubing most places as it makes it easier to add things later if needed. We are at the engine stage and just now working on lights so you do not need to get in a huge rush yet but always good to think ahead as to how you will accomplish it when the time comes.. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of William Couvillon Subject: RV9-List: Vert Stab...lighting? --> RV9-List message posted by: "William Couvillon" Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The top of the vert stab or the rudder bottom are comon places to put them. Wherever you put them you will need to be sure you can accomodate wire. I put mine on the rear of the rudder bottom, put a disconnect at the front and then put spiral wrap around it until it passed throught the main spar of the vert stab. Dennis
