Squeamish?  What have I done that might make someone nervous?  Let's see...

 

1)  I have an electrical bundle running from the panel to the firewall.  In one location it is secured by a pair of Adel clamps to the fuel line from the header tank.  There is no chance of chafing but it makes my A&P buddy nervous.  (At least I ran the wires ABOVE the fuel line, in case the fuel line leaks and fuel runs down the outside of the tube.)

 

2)  I have my B&C voltage regulator on the hot side of the firewall.  (Just like many Cessnas)

 

3)  I have my battery in the engine compartment. (Just like many Cessnas)

 

4)  I am using the Control Vision EXP2 power distribution system.  There is no way to "pull a breaker" and turn off a circuit.  (Note:  While it sounded like a good idea at the time, it would have been easier to use standard circuit breakers.  I will do that on my next project, if I ever finish this one.)

 

5)  I have a header tank.  Lots of fuel in the cockpit.

 

6)  My oil cooler is very close to the cowl exit, so there is no ducting to a set of shark gills on the cowling. 

 

7)  There are no cooling tubes blowing air on the fuel pumps or gacsolator.  Since I now live in Arizona I'll bet those will get added early in the flight test program.  But for now, nothing.

 

That's about it.  There's really nothing glaringly dangerous to me, but others have expressed concerns about those items.
