Ref. the question of the best way to run wires in a wing: my method for the
SR was to use a 2 - 2 1/2" piece of washer hose, split lengthwise as a
cushion
against the nose ribs; then attach a piece of 3/4" i.d. stiff vinyl
reinforced
tubing (running lengthwise in the wing) to this, and using two wire ties
crossed through the tooling hole. It makes it very easy to pull or replace
wires. I left a length of fishing line in the run for future use. At the
wing root I inserted a rubber grommet and plan on running the wiring down a
cabin post. The wing installation was easy and cheap, and I believe the
pieces of tubing should last longer than I will.
