I would like to run conduit thought my 9A for all of my lighting requirements.Eg. Tail and wings and lights. Is there a special conduit that I should be using or do I just pick it up from my electrical supplier in town.

Russel,
If you do a search in the forums on "wing conduit" you will get several hits. Many of those threads include good pics as well. I purchased mine from Van's and it installed easily. Others have used PVC.
I hope this helps.
I'm going with the standard plastic corrogated conduit from Van's. It's light, keeps the wires well bundled, and not expensive
The downsides are - I hear it's a little difficult to get into the rib holes, and may a little small if you are running a lot of wires
In my wings I used thin walled PVC from Home Depot. Its very light easy to install and feed wires through. To the tail since I only had 4 wires I just wire tied it along the J stringers. The aft portion of the fuselage is fairly easy to crawl inside at any time.
