Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:15 pm Post subject: Stuff to order with the fuse kit.

Hi  

   

I just received notification from Van’s that my fuse kit (slow build) will ship in early Feb. Is there anything I should be ordering from Van’s as well? As I am doing QB wings, Van’s advised that I need the wing center section so I have that covered. I have also ordered the RV10 flap positioner kit.   

   

I thought I might order 25’ of plastic conduit for the fuse wiring as well. Should I get the strobe kit now or wait?  All suggestions gratefully accepted.  

   

Inquiring minds need to know…..

Get the fifty feet of conduit and save yourself a second shipping bill and 

handling fee.

Hi



I just received notification from Van's that my fuse kit (slow build) will

ship in early Feb. Is there anything I should be ordering from Van's as

well? As I am doing QB wings, Van's advised that I need the wing center

section so I have that covered. I have also ordered the RV10 flap 

positioner

kit.



I thought I might order 25' of plastic conduit for the fuse wiring as well.

Should I get the strobe kit now or wait?  All suggestions gratefully

accepted.

I wouldn’t order the strobe kit yet.  That mounts, normally, back by the battery in the tail.  It might not be a bad idea to order Van’s strobe/ELT mount kit so you can get that installed ahead of time.  Some people at this point would order some antennas if they are going to be mounted in a place that will be hard to get to later.  Some would go ahead and start on your wiring and panel installations.  If you are going with Van’s wiring harness (which really is a good place to start if you are a beginner in wiring and plan to do it yourself), then it would be a good thing to go ahead and get.  The Flap Positioning system might be a good thing to order now if you are going to get it so you can find a good place to mount it before getting too far along.  I would go ahead and decide what conduit you are going to use and get that as well as any mounting hardware you might want.  If you are going to make access panels in the rear seat floors or baggage floors, you might want to get the access panel parts like were used in the stall warning installation in the wing.  Go ahead and get some extra snap bushings if you are going to use more than that normal amount of wiring run holes.  

   

This is everything that comes to mind.

Snap bushings, rubber grommets of many large sizes, extra rivets both solid 

and blind rivets, some extra aluminum to make the stiffners for the access 

panels, get the strobe wires, the wire for mics and headphone jacks. Wire 

for any interior lighting after you think about where it will be mounted. 

Get the battery cable you will be using. Sorry, this is all I can come up 

with but I know there is more.

Jessie / John



Thanks for the suggestions. I have amended my order to include the bushings,

grommets, access plates / doublers, conduit etc.



Cheers



Les

Van's has a strobe power supply mount you may want to look at. 



Also this is a good time to decide if you are going to stick with Van's

aluminum heat bypass valves (part # TG 10 L & R they mount on the

forward side of the fire wall) or replace them with stainless

aftermarket valves. Don at www.aviacompworldwide.com makes a nice set.

If you go this way delete the originals out of the fuselage kit and save

the 20% restocking fee from Van's. Difference in cost between the

stainless and aluminum original equipment is about $60.



Do get the extra rivets. AN426 3-4; 3-4.5; 3-5; 4-5; 4-6; 4-7. I've run

into a number of places were the rivets called out were too short or of

marginal length. The primary offenders seem to need the 3-4 and 4-5.



If you are thinking about a Trutrak autopilot you could get the servo

mounts and wire harness. No need to get the servos yet. I've had great

customer service from www.steinair.com. This is more of a wings item.



Nice choice on QB wings and SB fuselage. I've done everything slow build

and am really enjoying building fuselage.
