Elite trim wiring

[Ralph Baker]

Anyone have a good solution to bringing the Elite trim wiring from inside the front "D" section of the elevator to the center and up past the stabilizer rear edge inside the fin / stabilizer fairing? My best so far is to file out a clearance in both elevator and stabilizer at top to eliminate a shearing action on the wire as full up elevator is approached. The clearance filing would be just to left of center hinge.
Thanks,
Ralph Baker

Elite builders,

Getting ready to close up my elevator, but trying to decide how to run the
wire for the electric trim through the elevator.

Option1- I have grommets that fit the tooling holes in the eleavor ribs. Then
all I'd have to do is drill one hole in the vicinity of the elevator control horn
and put a grommet there for the wire to exit the elevator. This seems a little
cleaner method, but access to wiring later would be impossible.

Option2- Drill a single hole through the spar in front of the trim servo, put in a
grommet, wrap the wire, then run through the "D" cell. This would be much
easier to replace/re-wire later if required.

The manual says the wires will be routed after the elevator is fitted to the
fuselage, but that sounds like something that should be done before the
elevator is closed. Sorry if this question has been beat to death at an earlier
date, but I couldn't find anything in the archives.

Thanks!

Flex,
It is probably overkill but I ran a piece of thin wall Al tubing from elevator front prar to the rear, 90 degree sweep, and into servo area. My reasoning was it protected wire and was a simple wire replace if that was ever needed.
