I estimated that the blue tube weighs about 2 lb each for a 12' length.
That is about 4 lb extra for both wings. Just wondering if the conduit
is really worth its weight. I realize that fishing a wire would be
difficult without a conduit, but what about using a long telescoping
pole to feed the wire or tubing? Also, the aileron bellcrank inspection
plate provides an access point about half way down the wing. If the rib
holes are made along a straight line, it should be possible to fish a
wire, no?
