Looks like a good way to go. The photos make it seem like they put some thought in how the package it so that it makes your life easier. Are the cable lengths of the harnesses custom or a standard length that they offer?

There is no dumb question, and CJ is on the money. It will be worth the time that it takes. Just go methodically, take your time, and remember, a little is much.

John Id think you would be alright if you used good wiring practices. Keep them in separate looms, used jacketed / shielded cable, I think youll be ok.

Wowsers, that is seriously sweet. Kind of nice to see as your panel is pretty darned close to what I was going to do. Good taste! When you get it done you must let me fly in it.

Suweeet :thumbsup:

Finally did it ... TW endorsement

I finally finished up the tail wheel endorsement this past weekend. The mount of choice was a really cherry Bellanca Decathlon. That was fun! One thing I found slightly humorous was that 2 weekends ago I took a new Cirrus G5 out for a spin with a local rep for a few hours and found that the Cirrus w...

Sorry if that doesn't work out for you guys. If anyone else is interested, Me, Erik, my son and probab...

Exactly. Vans never really supported it. I looked into that option and it was obvious that everything you did with that configuration would leave you in a lonely field by yourself. The only real viable option (viable defined as in getting support and not having to engineer the entire fwf yourself) w...

It sure looks like a nice bird. I would love to see something like a 200 - 210HP 4 seater. That would be awesome. I am sure they could really put a one up on the cardinal / arrow / sierra class of factory birds.
