I need some advice from the collective. When I built my RV-8 wings I decided to delay riveting the bottom skins in place because I thought I might need access to the wings later in the build. I'm getting ready to order the engine, and I'm trying to get everything done that can be done before I get it (and the warranty clock starts ticking). So I'm wondering if this is the time to close the wings.
I have conduits for electrical wires installed in each wing. I need to plumb pitot/AOA lines and mount the pitot tube. I bought position and landing lights at OSH and will mount them shortly, but I will delay wiring them until the airplane is at the airport and the wings are on for good.
I'm going to go with Garmin G3X suite, and will use the GSA 28 autopilot servos. I'm thinking the roll servo will go in one of the wings, but is there an alternate location I should consider?
Anything else I should do to the wings before closing them?
Thanks,
Rob
