...UPDATE
I was able to route the rear harness wires through the snap bushing tabs that have an open side (post #14). That was easy! But, I had to remove the forward elevator push rod and idler arm bracket in order to get the main harness connector past the spar and into the tunnel.

Best time to install fuselage wiring harness?
I'm pretty much done with the first three kits and waiting for the Finish kit. I have not installed the interior yet and I haven't attached the tail pieces (HS, VS, rudder, etc.). I have the Stein fuselage wiring harness that I bought last summer sitting on a shelf. Is this a good time to...

Sanch627 RV-4 Panel
Show us your panel!
I wanted a clean, uncluttered panel and also to retain the canopy hinge release handle so Com 2 (GTR-20) and transponder (GTX-45R) went under the panel. Electrical protection is all fuses except for the alternator field breaker; I mounted two fuse blocks on the right panel support rib. I'm...

I have big feet and have an issue with the wingwalk
My 2103 RV-12 has wingwalk material that is just barely enouth for my big clod-hoppers. I was told the double goes back to the spar so in theory, the wingwalk material could extrend all the way to the spar. Is this correct?

LED's for Honeywell AML34 Microswitch...
PIREP: Upgraded/Replaced all the lighting modules in my AML34 switches. These new LED modules provide a much larger and lower resistance contact to the guts of the switch. I did have to "tweak" the contacts in the switch innards (think: dental pick, tiny screw driver) so the sweep would...

flap pushrod cutouts
Is there any drawing that shows where the cutouts should be for the flap pushrods? My wings aren't on so I can't really tell where to cut the holes. I stared at the drawings for quite a while but I don't see the holes anywhere. I guess I have to wait until the wings are on and custom cut the holes?

Baffle advice to increase cylinder temps in an RV-14
I have an RV-14 with an IO-390EXP. Our home airport is at 5,400 msl, so normal flying altitudes are commonly 3-6,000 ft above that. The cylinder head temps run really cool, even in warm ambient conditions, generally not more than 300-320º. Now that the ambient temps are cooling for the...

HS bolts
Clearly I am missing something. When I went to attach the HS I find 4 bolts to attach the forward spar to HS 814 angle, HS 819 aft deck etc that look impossible to get the nuts on the underside. Normal size hands got no chance. Can I flip the bolts and put the head down? I might be able to...
