Tail nav light

[flywulf]

Hi all,

I have my rudder mounted (RV_7A)and rigged but, I noticed one thing is missing. There is no hole for running the wires to the tail nav light/strobe light assy.

Did I miss it or is this ad-hoc? Where is the best place to locate the hole in the verticle stabilizer aft spar?

Also, any tips or techniques for running wires?

thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed,

Here is where I passed my wire through:

And here is the page describing how I did it:

Hope that helps,

I punch a hole below the lower edge of the VS spar. This way the rudder and VS could be removed without pulling any wire. I can snap a pic tomorrow if you need it

In my 9A, I put a connector inside the rudder fairing so I can pull the fairing, pull the plugs apart, then pull the rudder. As far as routing the wiring through the VS, yeah that's pretty much ad hoc.

Thanks for the info.

Hydroguy I would love to see a picture of what you did with yours.

Also, where are you guys mounting the poer supplies for the lighting systems?

cheers,

Ed

Dang, wish I would have seen this earlier when I was still at the hangar. I'll snap a pic on tuesday

My Strobe pac is under the baggage floor

Here is another one for ya,

What gauge wire are you using and is it shielded?
