Trying to rough-in the location of my transponder ala Jack Phillips, in therear center section and not sure if I will have enough depth. Can anyonetell me the approximate depth of a connector? Do they make them in a rightangle? I'm also concerned that I won't be able to see the numbers. I'musing a King KT 76a, where the numbers are above the knobs. Jack, am Icorrect that I should locate left or right of center to enable seeing thenumbers?Thanks,JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________

I also have a King KT96A. I would not try to mount it until you have theappropriate tray with the connecting harness. You might need to tilt itslightly to be easier to see, but I just stick my head out into theslipstream to read the numbers.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

I'm not sure if you are being serious or jerking my chain! I'll put it like this... I've not had an "official" inspection yet. So far, therehasn't been much to inspect, but with my wings all framed up, I do intendto have our DAR come take a look before I change gears to other assemblies. Otherbuilders have stopped by periodically and told me that I'm doing a good job,so I've kind of taken their experienced and favorable assessment as confirmationthat I'm on the right path. Honestly, as our DAR told us during last month's meeting... it is never too earlyto get you technical councilor or DAR involved in your project. All of ourcircumstances are different. I often forget that I have the luxury of beingon a field where our EAA chapter is headquartered and several builders live...many of them are just a phone call and golf cart ride away if I needed an expertopinion, and at times they just stop by whenever the doors are open to seehow I'm doing. Some people are going this alone, far from experienced builders...perhaps you are one? Either way, getting others involved in overseeingyour work isn't a bad idea.--------Mark ChouinardFinishing up Wings - Working on Center SectionRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Transponder Connector Depth Question

Yeah, thanks for the photos! I'm based right next to Class-C and will likely installa radio and transponder. I really like your install. Now, if I can justcombine the "Cuy Cargo Bay" with the "Phillips Comm Stack." Actually, my radiowill be an Icom A-22 mounted near the panel, so I'll just need room for thetransponder. I think I can make it happen.--------Mark ChouinardFinishing up Wings - Working on Center SectionRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 10:07:14 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Transponder Connector Depth Question

I never had any intentions to trailer the aircraft until a friend this weekendthought it would be a good reason to build the three part wing. I've only readthat building the three part wing is easier in small shops.
