Hi guys;
I'm starting to run wires from the back of the fuselage to my instrument pod. I remember seeing examples of hot boxes on the list. Could some of you provide me with photos of your installation and a source for the box it self.
thanks.
Joe

Originally on the FSII, we had the Hot Box under the left side of the passenger seat.

After the rebuild, the passenger seat was left out and converted to the fuel tank tray, but the Hot Box went back into the same place.

Something we are doing on the Firefly we are building is welding 4 tabs to the underside of the extreme forward fuselage adjacent to where your heels rest on the fiberglass so that rather than riveting the nose bowl on, it will be just bolted on using four bolts to the bottom tubes, plus the original tabs on the two upper side tubes. We will be using R/C airplane quick disconnects in the harness right at the rear of the nose bowl. That way, if we ever need to get up behind the panel and play fix the instruments, all we have to do is unscrew 6 bolts and disconnect the wires, and we can do it on the workbench rather than do it on the airplane.
Might be an option to think about... Trying to lay your rib cage on the side tube whilst sticking your head up under the panel is a really poor option. Guess how I know this?
