RV-8 - Battery cable and servo wiring routing under left aileron push-pull tube.

[N804RV]

Anyone have any problems with the battery cable and lights/flaps wiring rubbing on left aileron push-pull tube?

It looks like it'll be close to me. But, I ain't gonna know for sure till I put the wings on and bolt up the push-pull tube.

You won't have any issue with the aileron torque tube rubbing the cable looms from these holes.

If I recall correctly, I put a Click-Bond cable-tie base on the belly skin and strapped down the wire bundle that ran through that area.

That's exactly what I did. I guess we'll see how it works out.

I started to do it exactly as you show. I actually ran all the wires. Eventually I changed my mind and put the battery on the firewall. You might consider putting your battery on the FW and using a light battery like an EarthX - this will save a lot of weight, and make everything a lot simpler. Total weight will be lower, and if you need weight in the back, it's easy to throw a tool bag back there when needed.
