I don't know if there are any of you who are considering ordering the Chelton SV10 package. If there are, based on my experience, I would recommend that you not take their wiring package. When I was at Sun-N-Fun I changed my original Chelton order over to the SV-10 package which include the WAAS receiver and a wiring package. They told me it should deliver by June or July. We are now in Oct and I still don't have everything.
But my biggest complaint is with the wiring package. I've received some of it in pieces and I'm still not sure if I have everything. I'm definitely not a skilled wiring person and that is the reason that I wanted their wiring package, because of their reputation of having quality products. When I received the first bundle of wires it was for the left and right wing. There was absolutely no instructions with it. I called them and they sent me a very short sheet saying what the pins were for. Possible for a very experienced person that would be enough but not for a neophyte like me. Below is the instructions for the pilot wing.

For me this just isn't enough. I've received another one a little more detailed but almost like someone's notes on how it works. Their literature leads one to believe that it comes with a detailed installation manual. Not true. If I were to do it over again I would order the wiring package from Van's. It's cheaper and their instruction write up, I've seen it, is very good like the rest of the 10 manuals.
I'm not out trying to burn crosses out in front of someone's building but this has been one of my bigger mistakes on this project and I hope others will not make the same mistake that I did.
