Default stuff hanging out of the wings

I just ran some wires down my 9A wings. Eventually, they go to the panel.

But I don't have a panel yet ! And the fuse is in storage !

So I guess I have to leave wire hanging out at the wing roots. Umm, any idea how much to leave ??

I left about three feet (overkill), since I intended to put disconnects under the floor. If you are intending to run the wires all the way to the panel with no junctions, leave about 6 to 8 feet.

Since you may (or may not) have the wings on and off more than once for various reasons, disconnects in the floor space may make sense.
