I am in figuring process how to physical get wires from the back of our

Europa (fiberglass) to the front.



The 2 easiest paths are mid fuse under the door frame on both starboard

and port.



Any input would be appreciated on this dart throw bundle:



PORT side:

ACK ELT antenna wire

ACK ELT instrument panel controller wire 

Transponder antenna wire

Com antenna wire

Advanced Aircraft Electronics 5T nav com antenna wire (have antenna bent

90 degrees to work equal bad on both Nav and com for Vertex hand held

Nav-Com)

Kunzleman LED Position lights for port wing

Ray Allen T4-5 roll servo power wires, this servo has no indicator  

STARBOARD side:

Both battery #4 wires

Wires for 2 vane style fuel pumps (Rotax 914 with capacitors installed as

per Rotax)

Ray Allen pitch servo and indicator wires (read of folks complaining when

radio is keyed, indicator goes bonkers) 

12 volt power wires for Kunzleman strobe power supply 

Kunzleman LED Position lights for starboard wing



Opinions needed which side these go:

1 high voltage wire from a UMA transformer up front to run a EL strip in 

starboard headrest

Headset wires that need only run a few feet with one of the bundled sides,

which side?



Thx.

Ron,

        Do you have a tri gear or a mono-wheel.  If a tri gear, the

tunnel is the easiest.  I built a mono-wheel so the stbd door channel ws

the best for small wires.  I ran the com and txpdr thru the port door

channel ( big wires).   My battery was in front.  You can make the door

channels as big as you need.  I also ran some wires up the windshield

channel to switching in the overhead. then some went back and down into

the area where the pumps were located.  Definitly put supports under the

door frames to keep them from flexing.  Also reverse the door strut

mounting from the factor design.  That way you won't push up the rear of

the door frame.  (looks bad)

You have proposed essentially what I did.  I have installed the Europa

factory wiring harness which runs all power along the starboard side just

below the door, and to keep from getting too fat a bundle there, installed

all antenna cabling along the port side.  From monitoring this list I

realize that there is no technical reason to separate any wires from any

others.



Although many builders seem to prefer mounting the headset jacks in the

overhead panel I mounted mine at shoulder level between the headrests thus

keeping dangling wires from interfering with access to the baggage

compartment.

Best regards,
