How much coax to order?

I want to get enough coax for the entire plane at the same time.

I have not nailed down the exact equipment I will install but I plan on having:

COMM1, COMM2, VOR (Archer already installed in a wingtip) XNDR, DME, ELT GPS

The plane is a taildragger 9

How much coax should I get to ensure I can cover all this?

I built a 9A equipped roughly the same. I used about 90 feet total.
I know now to buy a 100 foot length right from the start. I ordered the stuff twice and payed the price in shipping. You get a break with the 100 foot order as well. Shop around for connector parts, as you will find a big difference in cost.

Stein is a good guy to call when pricing this stuff.
