==== Conduit Summary ==== | |||
The holes in the bulkheads are only big enough to have cables run directly through them using snap bushings (vs. in a conduit). Also, there are only two holes on each side and depending on your needs, you need more.<br> | |||
You do need conduits for sure but only to tunnel underneath the baggage compartment. You can go back to snap bushings forward of the baggage compartment if you like. Some people though like to just run at least some of the conduits all the way from the tailcone to the front. Now that is where the diameter needs to increase from .75 to at least .77 for Van's Nylon conduits. It is a pain to enlarge those holes afterwards since they are tucked in underneath horizontally-running structures. Adding more holes can be done later but is also a bit easer if the bulkheads aren't in the plane yet. | |||
If you run conduits all the way from the back to the front, it will be easy to route the static pitot tube, the pitch and yaw servo cabling, the pitch trim servo cable, the battery cables etc. Also makes cabling later add-ons easy.<br> | |||
==== Hints ===== | |||
Step 8 details the assembly of the bulkheads to the center section prior to deburring and priming these parts. Now is a very good time to consider whether you will need additional pass-through holes in the bulkheads for items like conduit, pitot, static, and AoA sensor tubing, air conditioning lines, and other electrical circuits. Many builders find that the two holes referenced here and on [[#PAGE 25-4]] are insufficient for all of the required lines and circuits for an RV-10, especially if it is going to have a full glass panel and backup/redundant electrical systems. | Step 8 details the assembly of the bulkheads to the center section prior to deburring and priming these parts.
