On a quick build 10 we?re at the end of the fuselage construction where we are to attach the upper forward fuselage section. The empennage and all control surfaces are attached. There is a 8-10 week wait for the finish kit (gear and engine mount included) and I want to keep moving forward with wiring. I?m OK with attaching the wings temporarily with pins to accomplish wiring. I?ve built an RV-7A and am really concerned that if I attach the upper forward section that I?m severely limiting my access for electrical wiring and signal wiring for the panel. The panel is all Garmin and I can pre-wire on a bench. But running electrical wires with the foreskin on is really difficult.
Question 1: Do I remove the foreskin on the upper forward fuselage section to facilitate wiring? We?ve paid to have riveted as part of the QB.
Question 2: The RV-7A had the battery on the forward surface of the firewall. The voltage regulator and main contactor were close by with the single point ground block on the aft side of the firewall The 10 has the battery aft of the baggage bulkhead with the contactor near. Where do you put two voltage regulators, a Lightspeed electronic ignition and a single point ground block? If they all go forward then I?m back to the issue of having the foreskin off for access to wiring. HELP!
