More progress pictures. I have been trying to finish the FWF and also work on the wiring of the sensors and avionics. Looks more and more like a plane every day.

Default Tight!

Axel,

Looks tight! You are doing a really clean job on the installs, especially in light of the limited space.
Good work!

Default GRT EIS

Hi, your progress is inspirational, thanks for posting pictures. I noticed the location of your GRT EIS and was wondering how this will work? Will the output slave to another device? Could you also please tell me what type of firewall fitting you are using for the electrical wires and probes to pass through, thanks in advance.

Derek

I have developed a very difficult and intricate way to see the display using mirrors and prisms. Total weight is 1.78 lbs and requires no electrical connection. It will be in the market soon. All joking aside. I don’t need to read the EIS because the information will be displayed on my GRT screens. So I decided to place the EIS out of the way because it takes too much space.

As far as the firewall, I am using this http://www.averytools.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SA-05

BTW, I am glad the pics help you out.

I was looking at the background in your pics and it looks like you might be nearby. I am starting an RV4 kit this summer and would like to have a builder nearby. Granted, we have a ton of RVs here in Yucca Valley, but no RV4s. Do you mind me probing you with a few questions here and there?
