 RV-8 Q/B   

 stazel(at)cpros.com (stazel(at)cpros.com)         

  

 I'm planning to install fittings and connectors in  the wing roots so that pitot lines and wiring can be disconnected to facilitate  wing removal/installation.  Are there any photos out there which I could  use to help me sort this out?

Stan, no photos but allow for 5 wires for the wing tip lights.

Hey Stan C

  

 Having connectors and fittings sounds good in theory C but how often do you really thing you will need to remove your wings.  If you really think you might have to do that in the future C just leave enough extra wire or plumbing so that you can cut it and put the connector in then.  Getting the wing attach bolts out will be the hardest part of that type of project anyway. 

  

 See you in the air soon C

Every person has his own ideas. How wrong they are, is only when they

find themselves in the worst situation, and then is too late to correct

their wrong planning....

I wish I had done things different, when in comes to wiring and

connectors, to wings etc....



But do not believe it....

 Hey Stan,

  

 Having connectors and fittings sounds good in theory, but

 how often do you really thing you will need to remove your

 wings.  If you really think you might have to do that in the

 future, just leave enough extra wire or plumbing so that you

 can cut it and put the connector in then.  Getting the wing

 attach bolts out will be the hardest part of that type of

 project anyway.

I am at this stage also. I was going to install connectors but with the Vans plastic conduit extending from the wing tip to the inside the fuselage, It is easier to just run the wires all the way through. If you leave a maintenance loop in the tubing and wires (inside the fuselage), you can  cut and crimp if and when you have to remove the wings.    

   

For reliability I try to have continuous unbroken wire runs as the connector interface is another possible point of failure.  

   

The panel is another story. I installed everything on the panel while it was on the bench and truncated every wire (except coax) with an Amphenol molex type connector combo (not the cheap Radio Shack ones). In effect I made the panel ‘plug and play’. This is so I don’t have to contort myself under the panel in the airplane. This has proven itself as I have had to remove it a couple of times for ‘corrections’. If you decide to go with the Dynon D-180, the manifold pressure transducer requires a special crimping tool. Use this tool for the Amphenol connectors as well. Save some bucks. I got mine off Ebay.  

   

So bottom line? Save the connectors for the panel and use continuous wire/tubing runs on the wings.

Stan, I'm building a RV-8a and I'm not building in any type disconnect in the wiring for the wings.

  I built a Zenith 601XL a couple years ago and invested the time and effort to make disconnects

 but it was a waste of effort. I have not even considered taking a wing off. So, you can do whatever

 you want, but the usefulness is doubtful. I removed the wings on my 8 last week after

 final fitting and stored them. Working and triming on the canopy right now. Best regards, Bill
