Wing Wiring

[bransom]

Wayne, thanks for the info on this. I put off closing the front section
thinking I might hear from you on this. Instead I worked on the fuel tank
stuff (and got the bulkheads prosealed in -- yeah!) over the wknd. So
anyway, I haven't closed the leading edge section yet and can still put in a
wire tube. Any particular reason or importance you feel for using 5052
instead of 6061?(which I believe is cheaper and at a local surplus supplier
for me)

Another follow-up question on the fuel cap thing: Have people put a retainer
chain on the standard fuel cap? I can see benefitting from having a hand-
hold only to need to go for a swim anyway to find the cap after dropping it.
(Or, even on wheels, I wouldn't be the first to leave the cap off.)
-Ben

Ben , I did just that on the fuel caps on my Rebel (oops - Neil Hardie's
rebel now) by attaching a flexible piece of stainless steel cable and a
music wire spring hook. I did intend to add floats, but the real reason at
the time was in event of not tightening properly, the cap would bounce up
and down on the wing in the slipstream, hopefully getting my attention
before all the fuel was siphoned out. Bob J formerly Rebel 652
