Ed,
I'm brand new to VAF and am in the preliminary stages (still cleaning out the garage!) of building my own RV-10. I've been watching the forum for a long time and have never seen an overhead console quite like yours!
I am curious as to how you routed the wiring for the overhead switches and I am also wondering if you fabricated the part of the console where the switches are mounted or if that is commercially available somewhere. I recognize the Aerosport panel but that doesn't look like an Aerosport overhead.
I'm curious about the wire routing because I used to be an avionics tech on B-52s in the Air Force and wiring is kinda' my thing!

It's an Aerosport OHC... ED just got Jiggy with some composite Fabbing up at the front end.... apparently he likes acting out scenes from Airplane the Movie with overhead switches and such..
I think I remember seeing he ran conduit up either side of the windscreen in that recess... I ran wires through the support tube and some into the OHC from the rear...
Enjoy the journey

Overhead
The overhead is so cool I think I need to add
a "blind" set of overhead switches to mine just
to pretend.
Very nice!

That's correct on all accounts!
The switch panel was made by carving out the shape I wanted in foam, and then doing a layup on top of that.
And John is also right about how I wan wires. I have some 3/4" conduit that I glasses into both door pillars. It smoothes out the shape of the door pillars, and also gave me a lot of room for running wires. All the power and ground wires go thru the pillars, and the 3 antenna cables run thru the center post.

New Aerosport Products RV310 panel & quad armrest
Aerosport Products is now offering a new RV-10 panel named RV310 panel.
We had many request for a panel that would hold 3 10" screens and a center armrest console that would have the option for a throttle quadrant. After over a year of design and development they are now available and in stock. They will be available direct or on the website. They will be on the website within the week.
I have attached some pictures of the first two Beta installs. One is a new RV-10 and one is an existing RV-10 retrofit. Ed Kranz is the new install and Rob Hickman is the retrofit. I would like to thank them both for there contributions for helping bring this new panel to life.
Give us a call for any questions you might have about these new products.
Contact us at http://aerosportproducts.com Or call us Direct at 614-834-8659
