Hi, I'm David Mack. In 2006, I decided to build my own Van's Aircraft RV-7 200+ mph two seat homebuilt aluminum airplane and this is a log of the experience.

N Numbers, Canopy Wiring
(0.5 Hours Aft Fuselage, 3.5 Hours Electrical)
4.0 Hours Total

I installed the N number decals on the aft fuselage today. There are some small bubbles, but they look good if you don't get too close.

I wired up the cooling fans I had previously mounted on the canopy glareshield. Then I drilled holes and mounted the two GPS antennas for the G3X screens up there as well.

Looks good...

Then I installed the red LED strip on the underside of the glare shield and wired it to the GAD 27. I can control it with one of the dimmers on the panel.
