Subject: Re: Fw: wing tip wiring
Hi Rebel 505 !
Many builders now run tubes through the wing, so that the wires
can be easily replaced if they should deteriorate years later. It also
makes it easy to add new wires later, if you add strobes, etc. Many
production aircraft use grommets & tie-wraps, forcing the owner to
have the wing opened just to replace wires ! Some early builders
used rigid PVC tube, but lately, many have found the clear flex
tubing much easier to install. The plastic is considered safer
than aluminum, because the wires are less likely to rub through
and short out on it.
You are absolutely going the right way, by running your wires
down inside the strut, along with the pitot tubing. This makes everything
MUCH easier and tidier to connect to the panel !
Just suggestions ........ ;-)

Hello from Calgary
I drilled holes in the tip ribs and installed rubber grommets to pull my
aluminum tube or plastic hose to feed my wire through. The wire will run
down the strut, not straight through to the fuselodge.
