EXPBUS

SJBRV8 · Aug 5, 2019

We recently purchased an RV-8 from my wife?s father. Finished in 2005, it appears he installed an EXPBUS and indicator module in the electrical system. I am installing ADS?B and want to run it through the bus. Unfortunately I have no information in his building package regarding the EXPBUS. It is an earlier version ..... NOT an EXPBUS 2. I?ve tried to call the manufacture but all numbers seem to be disconnected.

Does anyone have good information to contact the manufacture or a schematic/installation guide they could share. It is an earlier version that has remote switching.

Any info would help.

Thanks!

Google EXP Bus manual. The EXP2 circuit board layout is the same as the EXP

Is this Mr. Wolfe's RV8 from Kingman?

Thanks pazmanyflyer! That?s what I?m looking for.

You are correct! We now have Gene?s RV-8. We?ve put about 20 hours on it and enjoying it very much! We?ll be back to Kingman with it sometime!

Lots of good info here on the forum!

I?ll email you a panel picture shortly.
