A while back I designed a tray to install the Dynon ADAHRS units in the tailcone. I designed the tray to install in the top of the tailcone hanging from the upper stringers. The tray was made from scrap 6061-T6 aluminum and channel. All the rivets are solid aluminum #3 button head rivets. I used my iPhone's inclinometer to install the tray at the same plane as the door frame longerons which are the straight and level flight reference point on the RV-10. The tray after installation measured in the same plane as the longerons on all axes.
This is the 3D model I made to design the tray.
I ran an analysis on my design and it easily passes a 10g crash load.
Here is a picture of it clecoed in place.
On my site I posted links to some full size drawings of the parts if your interested in making the tray. With the full size prints I built the tray in an afternoon.
Hope this helps a future builder.
Enjoy,
