Got a project tour from my tech counselor. It was an RV-7 slider so very similar to mine. The same engine I've ordered was installed and work had started on the baffling. The panel was being modified for instrument and switch cut-outs. Some Stein built wiring harnesses were in the airframe. It was a great chance to see the early stages of the next steps for me and a chance to take lots of pictures and ask lots of questions. I got a lot of practical tips.
I started follow up research on some of the topics. I decided to use the Nuckolls Z-11 design as the starting point for my power distribution. I plan to incorporate one or two TCW IBBS battery backups.
