We have the Empennage WH-00057 Fix Kit and are at the stage of wiring.
For those not yet aware the wires C1036 and C1037 supplied in the emp kit are too short to route, so Vans to his credit supplied WH-00057 Fix Kit. The fix kit is simply 2 white wires 400mm long with the right plug. Vans instructions are to cut the existing pins off the original wires and crimp join the fix kit wires to provide the correct length.
But I have some questions that I will also email Vans support.
1. Why repair the original wires using this extension kit and a crimp join? I am building a new plane and I don't want a repair. Is anyone else replacing the entire wire rather then joining a length to the end? As 6 meters of single core wire and 2 plugs is not that expensive?
2. What is the exact type/gauge of wire so I can replace the entire length (ie in one piece) with same specs?
3. I know its been designed to accept various avionics options but were do I get the complete wiring diagram for my RV-14a please? I know the fuselage kits not out yet but my emg kit does not tell me what the wires i am running right now are used for. Eg what is the telephone cable WH-0059 for? Before access is restricted by the skins a wiring diagram would help me plan for any extra wires I may want to add. Eg strobe sync wire
