Group,

  

     You might find the attached Excel workbook helpful.  I spent some time agonizing over size, number and how many wires would go into a  conduit. It is not very elaborate, but I found the visual helpful. The size of  the conduit shown is the ID of the Van's conduit they sell and the numbers are  in 100ths of an inch along the side. The wires are shown in relative size and  the numbers in the circles are the AWG gauge.

Start the year off right.  Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Hey Dave,



I'm very new to the group and the jargon ... help me out, "strobes" I  get, "RG's"? and where is the conduit running - wings? tail? battery to panel? and what are your other wires in the diagram?  I know ours will be unique to our needs, but I'm trying to absorb as much as I can!



For those others that don't have Excel loaded, I downloaded a free Excel viewer at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=c8378bf4-996c-4569-b547-75edbd03aaf0&displayLang=en 



Later, - Lew

Lew,



The "RG" is coax cable for antennas.  RG-400, RG-142, RG-58, etc. In wing

conduit, this is likely for wing tip VHF or VOR antennas.  



The main conduit runs in the RV-10 are from the forward fuselage to the aft

fuselage, and from each wing root to wing tip.



Best Regards,

Patrick #40715 / N690CT

Hey Patrick,



Ahhh, now I know!  It's so much easier to just ask stuff instead of floundering.  Thanks for the answer.



Hopefully we're picking up the finishing kit today, and the process is started to get my own builder's number.



Later, - Lew



Do not archive.
