Hey Jesse -
so now that you've done an RV-10 with the VP system, where have you found to be the best place for the CU? inquiring minds want to know!

I have installed one on a tray between the sub-panel and the
instrument panel cross-bar all the way over on the right side of the
panel. Then you just need to leave the bottom right side of the panel
empty, which is easy with some panels I have seen and difficult with
others. One is installed on the sub-panel, also on the right side,
mounting vertically by modifying the right rib and making some stand-
offs to hold it. This allows you to use the whole panel, but you
can't have anything very deep on the right side of the panel, aft of
the CU.
If you could find a good place forward of the sub-panel that you could
get to, then that would allow more panel room, but it would have to be
mounted hanging from a tray mounted on the ribs, probably. My whole
philosophy is ease of access down the road, so I like to keep it aft
of the sub-panel.
It could also be mounted in the tail, but there are a lot of power
wires needing to go to the panel, so it would add a little bit of
weight in wiring, although it would clean up your panel area quite a
bit by keeping all of the wires for lights and things out in the wings
and tail away from your panel area.

Best Regards from Switzerland
