Skyview ADAHRS mounting.
After weeks of looking for a better place, this is where I decided that it would be best for me ( Vans RV-7A). As I already had the aft deck top skins riveted on, and I wanted as much room as I can back in the aft area when crawling around. I must note that the credit for this location goes to another fellow member of VAF (Camillo ), im just showing some more picture of my install.
This is half way between the baggage rib bulkhead ( F706) and the next rearward rib( F707) looking aft.
Here is a better picture showing the two rib locations.
Here is the co-pilot side view, also looking Aft.
Now , here it is primed and ready to rivet in.
Some measurements for you. Note the 9 pin connector faces rearward once installed. Also you have to put a slight down ward angle on the verticals, as the aft deck runs downward to the tail.
The base is 6 12/32 inch long. On the left side vertical near the 9pin, its height is 2 10/32 ( rear ) and the front is 2 30/32 ( forward side ) I made the width the same size as the ADAHRS. It was made out of 032.
The Vans RV-9 is the same fuse as the Rv-7.
