Advice from an Expert
We all ask for suggestions from our hangar buddies and fellow RV builders. Sometimes you need the assistance of a true Expert. In my field, an expert is anyone with a comment who is over 300 miles away from his home. In this forum I hope to call on people who make their living or have a wide range of actual hands (or heads) on experience in the area of the question. We probably have some of you experts in our Sac Rvators group. Come on, volunteer to be a Technical Advisor. Ed, I am talking to you.


I will be happy to answer any building problems that I can, and hope any of you who have any expertice in any related field will do the same.

Thanks Ed. Looking forward to see how this works.

I've read you should keep shielded strobe wires separate from antenna coax and I've read you can run them through the same conduit without a problem...opinions?

Building Tip
An easy way to evenly space the 6 rivet holes around the control pushrods is screw a 6 sided bold into the end and use a square to line a flat up perpendicular to the table of your drill press, and drill the hole, then just index it to the next flat. If you have your control tube set in a V block, you can also set a stop for the head of the bolt to rest against so all the holes are the same distance from the end.

I need some expert advise on wire runs through a RV-7A fuselage. I mounted my ELT and Strobe power supply behind the aft baggage bulkhead. What's the preferred route from just aft of the baggage bulkhead forward? I have (2)HV strobe wires, ELT to remote on panel, flap motor and tail light wires that I need to run while everything is still open. Any advise would be greatly appreicated.
