I am having safety trim installed and my avionics man never did this one before. How long should it take. I have victory grips and a toggle switch to control the copilot activation. Robert N661G 300Hrs.

I'd say it takes.....as much time it takes to complete it.



You now own an experimental, and your plane is probably

not identical to ANY other RV-10.  Your wiring isn't

the same, your connectors may not be the same, where the

wires need to be connected wouldn't be the same,

and everything.  It could take a couple hours, if you

had everything laid out for them, and convenient

connections, and had an accurate and clean wiring

diagram for them to follow.  It could take them

a couple days, if they aren't provided with anything

to go on.  I think it took me maybe 2-4 hours, but

I knew exactly where I was going to mount the box,

and knew which wires I was going to tap, and knew

where I was going to get power from, and mount the

panel switch.



So there's no real way to say....the actual wiring

is simple.  The plane they have to wire it into

might not make it so simple.

I did mine in around 2 hours including mounting board and switch- but I was replacing another trim relay board so all the wires were there and I had excellent wire schematics from the panel builder (Stein). As Tim mentioned there are lots of variations in design and build.  Running new wires etc would lengthen the operation significantly.
