 |
|
I decided to put in a rudder trim and am looking at how to run the servo
wires for it and the tail light/strobe into the fuselage.
Where has everyone penetrated the Vertical Stab rear spar to run wires?
Are there structural concerns? What size hole and I presume snap bushing?
Wherever that point is, do you run the wires through the Rudder leading
edge directly opposite, or is it better for the points to be staggered
by several inches so to be easier on the wire?
Regarding rudder trim, I modeled what I've seen so far but I think my
approach was a bit different in that I mounted the servo on the
starboard side of the skin, while the rod protruded from the port
side. My thought was that steeper angle shortened the slot I had to
cut in the skin for the rod, and possibly less exposed to the slip stream.
Also, I have no other RV builders in Fergus Falls, MN (FFM) anyone
should stop in anytime and tell me how I'm doing.

I think the Wiring Harness instructions have you drilling a hole just below
the bottom bracket that the rudder bolts onto, which puts the hole through
the top of the tie-down support. This requires a snap bushing in from
either side because of the thickness, but it is a great location since the
rudder bottom fairing is right there. We also used silicone of some sort to
hold the wires and snap bushings in place and to provide some strain relief.
It also avoids the need to route wires up and through the VS if you were to
put them in at one of the other brackets.
