I have run the power leads for the Whelen strobe/position lights in aluminum
conduit (1/2 inch tube) in the belief, yet untested in my incomplete kit,
that this will be sufficient shielding to eliminate any interference with
the radios. In parallel Nylaflow tubing I have run the pneumatic lines for
both the pitot tube and my angle of attack device. For both the electrical
and pneumatic, the main purpose is to permit replacement of the wire, or
tubing, in the event it ever becomes necessary.

Subject: Wing Extras
I would like to get some opinions as to placement of the "Extras" that I
will put into the wings. I have a position/strobe at each wing tip(my
Whelen strobe power supplies are in each wing tip near the light so no
wing long runs of high voltage), a NAV antenna, the Pitot, the aileron
trim wiring, a Lift Reserve Indicator pickup which has 2-1/4 inch
plastic air pressure tubes to to and out the wing root and an undecided
upon landing light. There are varying reasons as to where to put these
with respect to radio interference, connect/disconnect with wing
assembly, physical space available, etc. I would like to ask
particularly those who have been flying for some time for placement
reasoning. I'm sure many of us at this sage of building would like to
hear from those who have already experienced the results of their
placement.
Thanks,
Bill McClellan
