I'm trying to contain myself as I write this. We have an RV-10 in the shop that is having heading issues, along with some intermittents. Configuration is a G3X (non-touch).
Removing the PFD show's a real rat's nest of wiring behind it.
Finally found the ADAHRS after a lengthy search. It was high up on the bulkhead behind the instrument panel, above the VPX. It was mounted with one cable tie through the two top holes. Nothing else. No bolts at all. For those of you with a keen eye, yes there is a bolt now in the lower-left corner, as I finally remembered to take a picture after we started installing bolts.
Personally, I think this kind of workmanship borders on criminal. Especially when compensation is involved.
This was an RV-10 where there was compensation involved in the building process. I will leave it at that. It's now on its second owners, who are airline captains and fly it IFR.
Suffice it to say that if you don't know what you are doing, then don't do it. Somebody is going to get hurt.
End of vent.
