Short Description: Landing/wingtip lights infrastructure work
|
I did some infrastructure work on the wing in preparation for installing wiring for the leading edge landing light and the wingtip lights. Like the autopilot wiring, I'm installing some polyethylene tubing to run the wiring in.
I'm utilizing the rear tooling holes in the forward ribs to run the tubing into. I updrilled the holes to take the proper sized snap bushings that will take the 3/8" O.D. tubing. I can't install the tubing yet, as it will be in the way when I start skinning the wings. I'll do this after I've drilled and cleco'd the skins to the ribs and spar.

3/8" O.D. tubing for wiring.
