Does Van's document a static line routing in the plans?  Especially a 

routing forward of the tailcone section.



I've viewed a number of builder solutions for the tailcone section but 

haven't seen what people are doing forward of the tailcone - from the 

battery to the panel - and wherever else it needs to go (various air 

computers imbedded in any of the electronics).



I'm trying to close up the baggage floor and this is one of the last of 

the lines that need to be buried underneath.



Thanks

Turns out that what I missed is the fact that there is a close-out panel 

on the right side of baggage bay.  I thought it stayed open.



Thanks Bob!

Myself and several other West Coast builders are running it along the right (co-pilot) side. From what I have seen, most of us are running either 4 or 5 conduits from the rear to the front. Two or three along each side with the static line along the right side. The plans really force you to do this "pre-wiring" work before you are really ready. You will probably need to cut a few holes. I went and bought the Van's pre-wiring kit which is really a pretty good deal. The wiring is all pre-measured and is really a good value for the electronic micro-cephalic.



I find that one of my three complaints about the great RV10 plans are :



1. the baggage and rear seat floors should be nut plated for work, electrical installation, and inspections

2. the finish quality of the fiberglass cabin top/ doors -  the quality of the product is poor

3. The inner (fwd) sub instrument panel makes for a difficult avionics installation

Thanks for the insight.



I've taken a similar yet slightly different route.  I agree that the 

Van's pre-wiring kit is great.  I took the approach of getting the plans 

for it without the kit so I could adapt it to a dual batt, dual 

alternator, split bus design.  Then ordering the parts I needed 

separately.  Some parts I didn't use - some I ordered multiples of.  I 

used that basic left side run of wires from the batteries to the 

firewall and duplicated the clamps, brackets and routing on the left 

side tool.  Having to make so many electrical decisions before closing 

the floor seems like a pain but I bit the bullet and tried to put a plan 

in place for all systems that require front to back wire runs.  I've now 

filled both left and right cable paths with cable.  I've added 2 

conduits to enable future wire runs be for now they are empty.



It now dawns on me that while it would be nice to wait a while before 

being forced to run cables, there is a benefit to getting the bulk of 

that done before added the fiberglass top and stuff.  But nut plates 

would be great.
