Wiring conduit location.

Post by Guest »

I'm going to use the 13/16" O.D. wiring conduit that vans sells for the wire runs in the wings. Van's doesn't seem that particular where you put it as long as you keep it away from control systems. I'm thinking of the upper front corner of the main rib or middle back of main rib near the rear spar. Which would work better as far as were the wires come into the fuselage. Thanks Lyle

I used the forming holes just aft of the main spar. Used a unibit to enlarge them and ran the conduit. I have plenty of room to add more wiring in the future.
