Kevin,

FWIW, I routed the power wiring from the panel, down the starboard  
side under the door sill and straight back along the fuselage through  
the baggage bay bulkhead and on to the power supply.  I did this  
because all my antenna cables route under the port door sill and I  
wanted to keep the antenna wires as far as possible from the power  
wiring.  I run the power from the power supply to the wings under the  
baggage bay floor and out the front into the "well" area between the  
baggage bay front and seat back.  From there through the fuselage  
into the wing root area.  I then connect the wiring to trailer wiring  
plugs as recommended by 'Lectric Bob Nuckolls.  You can go to my  
build web page, thence to the last album (Y6 Q4 2007), page 2 bottom  
for pics of the external setup.  This shows where the wiring exits  
the fuselage and the connectors used there and on the wing roots.

There are additional pics of the internal set-up in earlier build  
albums.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
