Cable routing--quick build wings?

Post by Ted Waltman » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:08 am

See uploaded picture in SR-Moose, 106 S/M Wings.

In taking apart one of my wing leading edge skins, I discovered that the
plastic tube that protects wires as well as my pitot / static tubes was
simply zip-tied to all of the leading edge ribs. As you can see in the
uploaded picture, after about 230 hours in my plane, the "protective" tube
in mine is a short time away from cutting wires / tubes. About half of the
rib-attachments show cuts of this magnitude.

I think someone told me that Moose quick build wings all have their wires /
pitot tubes routed (zip-tied) like this. Is that true, or am I just lucky?
Seems that there's a lurking problem out there...
