You've got power, RF, data, and audio lines. You want to keep the RF lines and noisy power lines (i.e strobes) away from the data and audio lines.

I've got only one conduit in the wing, but I also don't have any antenna in the wing either.

I actually have six conduits going to the back to different locations (three down each side) Basically a power, RF, and data conduit for each side. Two of the conduits got to the rear seat, the other four terminate aft of the baggage bulkhead. The plan was to keep the right and left conduits faily balanced, but that plan didn't last long.

Both pitch and roll servo brackets and servos can be installed after the wing is closed up. I don't know if this applies to the Garmin. Wait until you are ready for avionics to decide on the AP. there will likely be new options by that time and things may appear more clear then as well. I hear of more people selling servos they never used than people complaining because they waited too long to buy the servos or make the decision.

The only avionics choice I can think of that could have been made too late would be to purchase theVP-200 before it was discontinued. Marc, I hope you're listening! we want automatic mode switching back!!!

He and I had the same basic conversation last week.


+1 on talking to Stein.

FWIW, Bob Turner is right, everyone loves their own choice! That includes me, I love my TruTrak AP and I agree with Jesse about the VP-200. It would really bum me to build another airplane and not be able to install the VP-200!
