Default Placement

I put my conduit towards the back of the wing. If your going to use a connector at the wing root there isn't much room to get your hands in by the main spar.

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Default drilling

I used a 60 inch long piece of 3/8 dia. brake line from Auto Zone, slid a step drill with 1/2 inch (or what ever size you need) max cut. The step drill needs a 1/4 inch shank with flats. I then used my 3 jaw chuck on my lathe to crush the tube on the flats. One could use a hammer to do this if no lathe available. The flare nut works well as a guide on the first rib. Thanks Ron
