I am planning to install the Van's corrugated conduit in my wing and am a bit confused on how to place it. The instructions indicate that a tooling hole in the main wing ribs may be drilled to .75" for this purpose, but this size hole will come very close to the forward flange (I assume not to use the rear tooling hole). However, this Van's FAQ page http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/Wing_Wiring.pdf instructs to drill this hole in the bottom 1/3 of the rib between the forward and second lightening holes. There is no tooling hole here. Any tips on specific placement?
The FAQ page also indicates that a #30 hole may be drilled near the bottom edge of the forward lighting hole to allow later installation of an additional conduit or attaching lines directly to the ribs with zip ties. My question here is where to place these holes in the RV9 ribs. The drawing shows placement for a 7/8 wing. Is the 9 wing configured the same way (aileron tube passes through the forward lightening hole)? I just want to make sure this would conflict with the controls later.
At the same time, I am planning on an AFS AOA, so I am wondering where I will tie into the pitot static line. Does this happen back in the panel? If one needs to connect to the static line in the wing, it would seem that an additional conduit run would be needed. The extra #30 holes would be useful for this purpose.
