 Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2007 8:35 pm Post subject: Running VOR coax cable thru VS |
 |
|
Ready to drill hole in VS ribs (Top and Middle ribs)
to run VOR coax cable thru them for cat-wisker VOR
type antenna mounted on top of VS.
Where have you Builders drilled the hole for the coax
on the ribs - middle of ribs, on the rib closer to the
Front Spar or on the rib closer to the Rear Spar ???
Was a doubler plate used on the ribs, with the coax
holes, to make up for the the ribs loss of structural
strength ??
On the bottom rib, it has 3 lightening holes that
would allow the coax to run thru one of them into the
fuselage - correct ???
Thanks, Garey
