Please vote and let the folks at Van's know whether or not you believe an electrical wiring/schematic diagram of the RV-12 switch panel should be made available.
I recently had a problem related to troubleshooting the audio quality from the Garmin 496. Troubleshooting was virtually impossible without the electrical schematic. I, with others are also experiencing fluctuating oil pressure and ammeter readings on the D-180. Troubleshooting, again, is virtually impossible without the benefit of the diagram. During the build, I had problems with the headphone/microphone wiring. A diagram would have made the troubleshoot much easier.
And thinking ahead, if we experience an electrical/electronic problem in the future, an avionics technician will be lost without the benefit of a diagram.
I really believe, if the RV-12 builder community shows an interest, Van's will provide the switch panel schematic.
If you have experienced an electrical issue, please describe it in a few short words in a reply to this post, thereby, indicating how the diagram would have assisted you. Please also post a reply if you can foresee any hurdles or problems if the schematic diagrams are made available. Also, feel free to post your general comments.
If you do NOT think the schematic would benefit you or your avionics tech, or, if you believe it would over-burden Van's, please vote NO to ensure full impartiality.
