<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I was just reading Eastern Avionics' description of their Kwikmount wiring harnesses. They made it sound like you just tell them what radios and VOR indicators you have and how far apart they are, and they gin up a wiring harness for you. Open the shipping box, plug it in, and "zip, zap zooie -- you're all done!" Prices seemed pretty reasonably to me, about $100 for the basic items (like a transponder) and up to $180 for the complicated ones (Nav/Comm with remote indicator). My basic radio stack would cost about $600-$700 to get wired this way, which is a price I'm willing to pay for professionally done, tested wiring that doesn't look like a rats nest. Plus, I don't have to send my instrument panel to them. Similarly, PS Engineering sells prewired harnesses for their products, too. The question is, has anyone had this done and how well did it work out? While "plug and play" sounds attractive it also doesn't sound entirely realistic. - Rob Wolf >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
