First time poster...
I have opened the RV-9 main rib tooling holes closest to the spar to 5/8" according to the wing wiring .pdf. After the 5/8" OD bushings are installed, I think this should accommodate the wiring needs for a day VFR RV-9. The reason for using bushings instead of conduit is I just like the look of a neatly bundled wires...even though nobody will ever see them.
My question is about installing the 3/4" conduit that is also shown in the wing wiring .pdf. I really can't imagine having a need to run additional wires, but if one should ever come up, it seems like it would be a lot easier to add the conduit now instead of trying to drill additional holes in the wing ribs after the wings are closed. Are there any reasons not to install the conduit while the wings are being constructed besides a little more time and money?
I have searched the forums and a lot of you have installed the conduit. But I'm also sure a lot of you haven't.
Thanks,
