fuse?
what's the best place to exit the fuse?
Been working on the baggage bay supports lately and the time has come to mount
the wingtip strobe power supply and route the feed wires out the sides of the
fuselage.
Question for those who've come before me: Where is the best place for the wires
to exit the sides of the fuselage? My plan is to run the feed wires from the
power supply, located on one of the inner baggage bay supports, then route the
wires through the center tunnel and exiting near the CS15 bracket. I'm planning
to install Molex plugs so the wires can be disconnected when the wings are
removed. It appears that just behind the CS15 bracket at the bottom corner there
is enough room between the bracket and the gas tank for the wire to exit without
the potential of fouling the aileron linkage, yet still being within the
profile of the wing. Comments?

Hi John,
I have various nav light/strobe and NAV antenna wiring from my wings plus the
usual
pitot/static of course. I chose to route all the wiring and p/s from the
rear to the front of the spar at the wing root. If you are careful, there is
enough
room in the apex between the fairing and the spar. P clips can be used to
secure. I then went through the fuselage side via quick connects into some
conduit
on the inside of the cockpit. I find that it is relatively easy to make
the connections at this position and to ensure there are no pinch points when
the wings are installed. You may find it more difficult if the routing is behind
the spar; the aileron linkage and the fuel tank make it more awkward in my
opinion.
