My dad just bought an RV-7A in Raleigh, NC. We are having someone out there put in a new Superior IO360 engine as well as put in different lights in the wingtips. Long story short, he has everything apart and I'm thinking now would be a great time to at least run the wire for electric trim.
My Dad and I will be flying the plane back to Phoenix later this month after it is ready so my question to everyone here who has built an RV-7 is how hard would it be for us to install electric trim AFTER we get it back to Phoenix? Should we have our mechanic in Raleigh run a wire now while everything is apart? If so what kind of wire? Or do I need to figure out which electric trim system to put in the aircraft and buy it now and have that system put in place so we can hook it up later? Or Should we just wait until we get the plane back here in Phoenix and do it ourselves?
Thanks for your input.
