I really liked these on the RV14. The wings had the small plate with a cutout that the connector snapped into, very convenient. Has been very reliable for me.
The data sheet for the 12pos item:
I am building an RV8. Yes, I know about other sealed choices, and not having it at all. My question is:
How big a hole is acceptable in the fuselage at the wing root to pass the wires out?
OP-11 shows a 7/16 hole on each side, and I doubt this is big enough. The hole on the -14 was much bigger.
I'm thinking of making a 90 degree tab with a square hole per the drawing, and riveting it to either the wing or the fuse for the wire housing to snap into. So the wire comes out, turns to the connector, which is in the tab to hold both in place after connection.
From a hole size and materials perspective, I'm curious if anyone else has done similar.
