Rewired right wing. Moved wires from snap bushing to conduit. I also used iron to open a hole near where the autopilot will be installed, and wired the 7 wires for autopilot servo out of the hole. Wires to the wing tip include 2 gage 14 wires for landing and taxing lights, shield 3 18gage conductor wire for AeroLED Pulsar NS90 strobe/nav lights, and 2 18gage spare wires. The 2 spare wire can be used a thread to pull more wires in the future if needed.
I plan to use the snap bushing for the VOR antenna cable (RG400). I see other builders wired the RG400 cable through the conduit, but I will use the snap bushing for two reasons:
- the conduit looks pretty crowed already
- potential RF interference from the strobe runs (this is a problem for Comm antenna, may not be so for VOR antenna, but it will be safe to put some distance between them anyway)
Wires are all in conduit now
