I am about to finish up the empenage and want to wire up the PosiStrobe XP for the rudder while waiting for the wings to arrive (Heads up 12 weeks for the wings from Vans). The instructions from Aveo say to use an 18 guage, stranded, shielded wire for the Navs/strobes. I want to be able to disconnect the tail nav from the rudder for painting, etc.
Several options here. Put an extended service loop in the rudder fairing and just solder it or use a butt splice, and put heat shrink around it. Or use Molex connectors inside the fairing, although moisture might be a problem. Finally Seal all connectors, http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/sealAllconnectors.php from spruce. My big concern is RF noise. I guess thats why Aveo has you using shielded wire.
Any thoughts appreciated.
