to allow wing removal
Stein,
I guess I don't understand. If you don't recommend terminating the wiring runs through the wing at the root, where do you terminate them? |

do you have instructions
Stein,
do you guys have detailed instructions on what I need to install now during my wing contruction? i intend to buy the AP from you guys but in stages. So some builders suggested the mounting brackets for now. I guess if i have some detailed installation description, i can make a proper decision. Thank you. |

1) Servo mounting brackets. 2) Roll Servo (easier to do now than with the wing on the plane). 3) Wire for servo 4) Pitot tube mounting bracket. 5) Pitot tube wiring if using heated pitot 6) Pitot tube plumbing for Dynon AOA Pitot 7) Regular pitot tubing for other pitot tubes 8) Strobe light wires 9) Strobe light power pack if using some brands. 10) Nav light wiring 11) Landing light wiring 12) Taxi light wiring 13) NAV antenna (or possibly comm, but I wouldn't recommend it) for the wingtip. 14) MKR antenna 15) Coax cable for said antenna above. 16) OAT probe if mounted in the wing 17) If using an old style aileron trim servo, run wires for it. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. You can mix/match the above to end up with your configuration. Cheers, Stein |
Looking at your list here, is it true that I can run all the wires together through my conduit, Except the "NAV antenna" and "MKR Antenna" which would be 2 coaxial cables, to not get noise interference.

The SteinAir harness -- at least for the TruTrack, comes with D-sub pins attached at one end but no connector. The connector is already installed on the other end (the controller end, if memory serves, which it frequently doesn't). So when you're ready to run wire, you can get them through .
I drilled holes and ran conduit when I made the wings, but I didn't run any wires until about a year ago, after the wings were already attached. It was a non issue. I simply cut the conduit at the access hole, ran the wires down the rib (adding two Adel clamps) and ran the rest of the wires -- nav/strobes -- out to the end of the wing. I installed the TruTrak servo during wing construction, but it's pretty easy to add it after a wing is finished, too. You should have no worries here. |

I ran all the wires in the plastic conduit and the nav coax through a separate routing hole protected with plastic push-in grommets reachable through the inspection plates. To route all the wires I first tied a cotton ball to a piece of long string and shoved the ball into the conduit. Then get the vacuum cleaner and from the opposite end of the conduit suck the ball with the string attached through the full length of the conduit. Now, just tie your wire bundle to the string and pull it through. I left a spare string in the conduit "just in case". I also left another string in place from mid-wing where the servo will sit through to the root rib. I used a 9 pin sub D connector at the fuselage/wing mating area. Stein has the connector, pins and crimpers. Hindsight, instead of the connector, I would put in a service loop and just hard wire it. Hopefully, I will not have to remove the wings. |
How much wire do you guys leave hanging out of the wing to make it to the instrument panel. Also so I can calculate needed wire size for amps.
