RV-8 Wiring Start

Pedropilot

I'm New Here
I'm finishing up my fuselage and starting to look at wiring. I have little experience in wiring but not sure where to begin. I've seen the wiring diagrams in the OPs. From reading on the forums it seems like I can just go with conductor wires for most of my wiring but not sure if I'm jumping the gun if some of these will come later.

Do any harnesses come in the finishing kit? Mine doesn't arrive until November.

Steinair is doing my avionics and harnesses, so I'm tracking I should just have to wire my power, trim servos and lights.

Any help and direction is appreciated!

There is no wiring harness for your RV8. Stein builds your avionic harness but you have to provide electrical power to it, including the power for the rest of the lighting, pumps, and connections to the circuit breakers or fuses. These wiring must built by you. The Aeroelectric book is a great guide. Marc Ausmen published a simplify book that covers the same subject.
