I have been researching a lot lately, on where and how to run the wiring and tubing in the wings. I am planning on having an AOA pitot tube in the left wing, and my TruTrak roll-servo in the right wing. I will also need to run wiring for the nav light and strobe light to both wing tips, and wiring for the landing\/taxi light to both leading edges. The wiring harness kit included some black 3\/4&#8243; conduit, which is very useful for pulling the wires through when installing the wings. After having decided\u00a0a good spot for the conduit, I made a template for drilling the ribs.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/wings-082-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"wings-082-400x300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I drilled 1\/8&#8243; pilot holes, then enlarged them to 3\/4&#8243; using my unibit<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rv-7.dk\/wp-content\/wings-081-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"wings-081-400x300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The pitot tubes in the left wing will run through the ribs using snap-bushings.
