|
Having finished the bottom fuselage I am now starting work on the top. This brings me in contact with something I have managed to avoid so far- electrics. This revolves around the fact that I know b....r all about it, let alone for aircraft. But now I can't put it off any more. Wiring the trim motor, antenna, ceiling panel etc.
Not knowing where to start I have request. Does anyone have, or would be able to make, a rough Bill of Material for the stuff I would need, so that I could order that in one go and have it available as "as required" material? Things like wiring, connectors, fasteners, ty-raps, grommets, whatever.
I know it will depend on what I put in but basically I am looking for a minimum setup, albeit with Dynon Efis and wing leveler. The most important thing is getting started so I am not looking for 100% accuracy at this stage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can also be reached off line at j.glazeneratplanet.nl

Jeroen,
I know exactly how you feel...I've found Bob Nicholl's book, The
AeroElectric Connection, to be a very useful resource...available at www.aeroelectric.com

Hi Jeroen
As far as wiring:
"The most important thing is getting started"
"Any help would be greatly appreciated."
First off I agree with you, just get started.
Also agree with Fred good second step to buy Bobs book.
A good third step start reading Aeroelectric newsgroup (with pictures):

I purchased a complete wiring harness/kit from John Hurst in Florida when I picked up my kit, supposedly everything needed with directions. I am not using it. Would be willing to sell it cheap in case you are interested. Way too generic for my needs.

You best make schematic first. In below links are all my schematics.
For steps four on see (some info what to do before bond on):

Simple drawings are OK to keep you on track. There are some at end of panel gallery:

Another good thing would be to find someone and become friendly (bribes help here) who knows about such things, an old timer radio/TV guy? Ham? Another homebuilder?
Best of luck.
Don't try and eat the whole wedding cake in one bite, you will almost for certain choke. Take one bite size piece at a time.
IMHO best have two projects running in background of build:
Wiring
Filling and sanding.
Work on one till you can't take it anymore and go do something else. Then go to the other till you can't take it anymore and go onto something else.
Of course you could hire someone to either do most all, or only portion/s.

Just noticed you posted some pics to gallery.
As far as the anti servo trim tab servo goes, you can greatly increase chance of never having a problem with servo by adding some form of captured nut (can't very easily get to them when fin is on) which will never be used!
I used small diameter of hex Allen screws and purchased a ball end Allen driver to allow easier removal. I forgot who did it, but someone made a BID pocket to hold half the servo negating the need to get to the hard to get to screw.
