I'll be registering my -12 as an EAB primarily to be able to design my own panel and electrical system, choose my own avionics and eliminate dependencies on suppliers of propriatary things like control boards, switches etc.
Does the wiring and electrical components come with the avionics kit? Or do you get some of the wiring with the engine kit and some with finishing kit.
How about the engine sensors?
I guess my questions could best be answered by looking at a list of componenets in each kit but I am unable to find that on Van's site.
I was on the fence about this approach until last week when I flew my neighbors Rans S-7 that has the same Rotax prop engine combo with a MUCH simpler panel and electrical system that could be maintained and repaired by any mechanically savy person.
BTW it is a very nice flying airplane!
