On the RV-7A plans, there is one pre-drilled hole in the fuselage skin just rear of the main spar that is to be drilled out to 5/8" and accept a bushing. This is for tubing/wiring from the wing.
When I built my wing, I put additional wiring "runs" in, as have many (most?) builders. Given the pitot static tubing, the AOA tubing, the wingtip antennas, position/strobe lighting and landing/taxi lights, one 5/8" hole is simply not going to do it.
My question is, are you guys drilling more holes in the fuselage in the wing root area to accomodate these additional "runs"? Assuming the answer is yes, are you waiting to do this until you mate the wings to the fuselage? This seems to me, at this time, to be the best idea, so that I can match up the position of the wing runs to the fuselage.
