Today I managed to finish all the remaining systems installs in the aft fuse. Finish is perhaps not exactly accurate, as there are still a couple of zip ties that need to be tensioned up later.
I started by completing the static install. No problems here, was careful not to create any low spots. Everything went together quickly.
There are a couple of antennae cable that run through the aft fuse. One down the center of the bottom skin, and the other one, the ELT antenna, runs down the side skin and through the bulkheads via a snap bushing. Vans have been criticized for routing the ELT cable through the bulkheads, because in the event of a crash it’s possible the bulkhead could shear the cable. I’m not going to worry about it, and just followed the plans.
