Wing conduit installed

Got the corrugated plastic conduit (purchased from Van’s) installed in both wings. Took a couple of days, and caused a lot of blisters – but it’s done. I decided also to open up some of the rib tooling holes, per Vans’ instructions, to hold additional wiring. Turns out that 7/16″ OD snap bushings (also purchased from Van’s) are the perfect inner diameter (~0.25″) to hold the strobe cable that Whelen sells with their lighting kits, and between enlarged tooling holes and unused 7/16″ holes for the pitot line, I can run strobe cable outside the conduit. That hopefully gives a little electromagnetic separation for reduced stobe noise in the audio system, and also frees up some space in the conduit for additional wiring.

With the conduit installed and the right tank replaced, the wings are now ready to come out of the jig!!!
