I'd also like to do this to free up right panel real estate for future 'enhancements'. I don't think this is called out in the plans and I'm pretty sure you guys are going ELSA - Did you guys run this by Vans? Or are we asking for forgiveness later?

Vans will sell you the the panel on the right that has no ELT hole and no intercom hole. Their official demo plane is like this. And the diagrams in the new section of the plans you get for SV show it this way. Or you can do it the old way with existing parts, also mentioned in the plans. So it is an approved way to do these instruments.

It was asked in another thread: "IN skyview wire harness WH-00026 there is a white wire that has a yellow/red wire spliced to it. Where does it go to?"

I had to puzzle over that also. Page 42D-23 Step 3 paragraph 2 covers it - kind of. The text description is off, Stein did not totally follow the color scheme mentioned. The long white wire is marked L458 though as mentioned in that paragraph.

These two wires (one wire from the panel that then splits) are powering the NAV lights on pin 6 of the new connectors. The previous wire you ran earlier in the build used to power both nav and strobe together. The skyview mod splits these functions so a new wire is needed. The original wire only now powers the strobes (and is connected to the noise filter.)

We are trying to keep all of the skyview q/a in this thread to make it easy on folks.

Thanks for the answer on the WH-00026 wire harnes question. I did
check and the answer is on page 42D-23.

[edward7048]

does anyone know when using skyview wire harness wh-00026 and
wh-00036 where the wires for the pilot and copilot mic. and headphones
go? also the wires for the autopilot disconnect switch.

[rampilot]

Bill - If it's not too much trouble, could you provide a list of specific wires the plans call out to be removed? I figure at least I can remove these while I'm waiting for Skyview to arrive and be ready for installing the new ones.

Thanks!!
