|
I am finally coming to the end of the line on my install of the panel and associated wiring. I am using the stock Vans panel (main upper panel, lower panel for breakers, and throttle extension)
One of my goals has been to make the panel fully removable should the need arise or should I want to make a major makeover.
The amp plugs help that a great deal, in making the panel removable, but one big thing you should be aware of.
[b]Note: it is impossible to install (or remove) the entire panel as a unit in the RV10 [/b entire panel meaning the upper and lower parts.
The lower panel on the RV10 has to be completely removed from the upper panel in order to install the upper (larger part) in the aircraft after the windscreen is installed. This can be done by completely removing all breakers and wires from the lower panel and detaching it from the upper panel. The lower panel can then be shoehorned in and out with care.
I also relieved the corner on the part F1042 that protrudes in a sharp point just next to the door. This makes the panel install a bit easier and probably is a good ideas for general cabin safety.
