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.

Do yourself a favor and read forward in the plans to Sections 29 and OP-37 (even if you do not use the Van's provided wiring harness, OP-37 is very useful in understanding the options for routing electrical circuits. | Do yourself a favor and read forward in the plans to Sections 29 and OP-37 (even if you do not use the Van's provided wiring harness, OP-37 is very useful in understanding the options for routing electrical circuits). | ||
Later in the build, especially after the side skins are installed, it is quite difficult and awkward to cut new holes for conduit or other pass-throughs. Installing caterpillar or snap bushings can be awkward later, too. You will save considerable time later by thinking ahead at this point. | Later in the build, especially after the side skins are installed, it is quite difficult and awkward to cut new holes for conduit or other pass-throughs.
