Default Will wing conduit interfere with AP bracket?

I'm at the point of drilling for the wing conduit in my QB wings. Before I start making holes my only concern is per the Van's PDF Wing Wiring.

I'm planning on using an AP servo in the wing with one of the many brackets designed to augment the alieron to spar bracket. Will putting the conduit in the approved Van's location (the big hole option), ultimately be in the way of the servo?

From all the installed pictures of the AP bracket, I don't think so, but I feel no need to re-discover this problem.

Default It shouldn't

While I am not sure which AP you are using, that large hole did not interfere with my Tru Track servo using the TT servo bracket.

Roger,

I don't know which AP I'm using yet either! I don't plan on making that decision until stuff starts getting bolted into the panel. I think TruTrack and Dynon use the same mounting method and are about the same profile. I think the largest one out there is Trio's. I was hoping someone with a Trio will say if it's in the way or not using their bracket. I highly doubt it is, but always good to confirm.

Thanks

I installed the bracket in my right wing to see how/if it would interfere. Won't be a problem. Here's a photo:

Hope this helps.

Default Conduit IAW Van's Instructions

My conduit runs low and aft of the first lightening hole in the rib. This keeps the conduit well clear of the bell crank and the AP servo. The link has pictures of mine, no servo yet but you can see the bracket.

Thanks Mike (both of you), that's exactly what I was looking for. Like I said, didn't look like it would be a problem, but rather find out now that later.

I love this forum. Van's must too. It's got to cut down on their support calls.
