Did anybody use an electrical connector on the outside of the fuselage, at the wing root, and within the wing connection space to connect wires from the wing to the fuselage? If so was there plenty of room for the connector? Has weather worn on the connection?
I put pig tails on my wings with round CPC connectors from Jameco and I don't want to drill a hole in the fuselage for them to fit thru. I could put the connector on the wing wires after pushing them thru a small hole into the fuselage, but if I mount a connector on outside of fuselage just behind the spar it would be an easy connection later to put the wings on. And later if the wires need service I could just remove the wing root fairing.
Is this a bad idea? What have others done for bring wing wires into the fuselage?
